Cost of the School Medical Service.
The gross cost of the medical, dental and nursing services
was £10,009; from this an income of £641 should be deducted,
making a nett cost of £9,368. The rateable value of the Borough
in 1933 was £2,070,619. The Government grant is 50 per cent,
of the expenditure, hence the actual cost to the rates was £4,684,
i.e., a rate of 0.54 pence. The nett cost of these services to the
rates for 1933 per child on the school registers was 3s. 5.5d.
The figures do not include £300 for Medical Inspection
(Higher Education) and for Blind persons £490.
Cost of Special Schools.
Schools maintained by the Council £5,735; Contributions to
schools under other authorities £3,403; Loans charges, £364;
Other expenses (travelling, etc.), £24; Income from parents' contributions
and other receipts, £854; giving an actual cost of
£8,672, of which £4,410 was payable out of local rates, giving a
rate of 0.51 pence.
