CONVALESCENT TREATMENT.
During the year arrangements were made for
convalescent treatment (up to a maximum of eight
weeks) in thirty-four cases. In four other cases,
where more prolonged treatment was considered
necessary, the children were admitted to Boarding
Open-Air Schools.
FOLLOWING-UP.
"Following-up" work by your Health Visitors
and School Nurses is, of course, a material
factor in maintaining and, indeed, improving the
general level of the health of your school
children. This work has been carried out
successfully during the year and one thousand
four hundred and forty-two home visits were made.
