A high level of co-operation exists between the Council's medical
and health visiting staff and the various associations and individuals,
the care of the child always being the first consideration.
Adoption and boarding-out
In appropriate cases, the Children's Officer seeks the advice of
the medical staff concerning health aspects of children being considered
for adoption and during the year 22 such cases were
considered. Similar enquiries are made where necessary in respect
of children to be boarded-out and prospective adopters.
