School Entrants.
In order that all information available, both from your Health
Visitors and the doctors at the Infant Welfare Centres, may be made
available for the County School Medical Officer of Health, records
relating to the health of these children are entered on special cards
supplied by the London County Council for that purpose, which are
forwarded to the School Medical Officer. The information thus
forwarded to the County Council relates to the early nurture and
illnesses of the children and to the general home conditions.
Through the kindness of the Medical Officer of Health and the
School Medical Officer of the London County Council, I am enabled
to submit the following highly interesting table, showing the result
of routine examinations of 458 elementary school entrants in Hampstead
during 1933.
