Recommendations.
I have, therefore, to recommend:—
That, subject to the concurrence of the Public Health Committee
so far as the latter are concerned, and to the sanction of the Board of
Education, the programme for development of the dental work set out in
the foregoing report be approved, including the initial alteration and the
gradual increase in staff, the steady extension in the age periods for inspection,
reinspection and treatment, and the education of parents as to the
need of treatment and as to the means of preventing dental decay.
