No individual pupil is recorded more than once in any column of this table, therefore
the total in column (4) will not necessarily be the same as the sum of columns (2) and
(3).
General Condition

the Borough is reassuringly good. Out of 5,002 children seen at periodic medical

Sub-Committee take responsibility.
