Report of the Medical Officer of Health.
The Medical Officer of the London County Council excluded
21 children from nine schools during the year, chiefly in October,
until a medical certificate was received to the effect that the child
was free from infectious disease.
All the homes of these children were visited, in many cases two
or three times, to see that medical attendance was provided, and in
several cases the children were examined by myself before being
permitted to return to school.
It was necessary to carry out disinfection in Swaffield Road,
Waldron Road, Larkhall Lane and the Wandle Schools, but in
all these cases the disinfection was carried out without closing the
schools.
