To the Chairman and Members of the
Hernsey (Divisional Executive) Education Committee.
Mr, Chairman, Larlies and Gentlemen,
I have the honour to submit my Annual Report on the work of
the Schocl Medica1 Service for the year ending 31-st December, 1946.
Periodical Medical Inspeotion, Dental Inspection and Cleanliness
Inspections have been carried cut s in former years and the scheme
of treatment as set cut in previous reports, is available to all the
children in attendance at the Schools under the Authority.
In the report for 1945 I mentioned two items required to enable
the work to be carried out in more complete form, namely:-
1) An Orthopaedic Department in a separate pro-fabricated
building adjacent to the School Clinic at the rear of
the Town Hall
2) A Dental Clinic in an outlying part of the Borough to
enable a third whole-time Dentist to be employed.
Apart from these items, which have not yet been provided, the
School Medical-Service is, in premises, personnel and equipment
adequate to the work it has to perform.
I have the honour to be,
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient servent
R. P. GARROW,
school Medical Officer.
