(c) If any treatment is given for more serious diseases of the ear (e.g.,
operative treatment in hospital) it should not be recorded here but in the
body of the School Medical Officer's Annual Report.
(d) The heading "Specials" in this Table relates to all children inspected
by the School Dentist otherwise than in the course of the routine
inspection of children in one of the age groups covered by the Authority's
approved scheme, namely, to children specially selected by him, or referred
by Medical Officers, Parents, Teachers, etc., on account of urgency. The
number inspected in each age group should be separately shown, as well
as the total, but under "Specials" only the total number should be given.
(e) A statement as to the arrangements made by the Local Education
Authority for cleansing verminous children and a record of the cases in
which legal proceedings were taken, should be included in the body of the
School Medical Officer's Report.
N.B.—Groups I.—V. above cover all the defects for which treatment is
normally provided as part of the School Medical Service. Particulars as to
the measures adopted by the Authority for providing treatment for other
types of defect (e.g., for orthopaedic treatment) or for securing improvement
in types of defect which do not fall to be treated under the Authority's
own scheme and for which the Authority neither incur expenditure nor
accept any responsibility, together with a statement of the effect of the
measures taken, should be included in the body of the School Medical
Officer's Report. It is convenient for such particulars to follow the
headings of Table II.
