Children are submitted for inspection at the Centres on
each school day at 9.30 a.m. Those usually submitted are children
suspected of having verminous heads or bodies, or having ringworm,
scabies or impetigo, or those whose examination is desirable on
account of some defect, such as defective eyesight, disease of the
eye, ear, nose and throat, which may require treatment. In fact,
any defective child not under medical care may be submitted by
the head-teachers for examination.

SPECIAL REPORT.
On the inclusion of the Parish of Northolt within the boundaries
of the Borough on the 1st October, 1928, a Special Report on the
extension of the School Medical Service to the newly added area
was submitted to and approved by the Education Committee. The
Report is as follows:—
Report to the Education General Purposes Sub-Committee.
Extension of School Medical Services to the Northolt Area.
I have to report that I have considered the steps which are necessary
to extend the School Medical Services to the area of Northolt which
will be included in the Borough on the 1st October.
It is anticipated that the present staff will be able to carry out
such medical and dental inspections as are required by the present school
population, but any marked increase in the number of school children
will call for the part-time services of a medical or dental officer, in the
same way as they are at present called for in connection with Maternity
and Child Welfare Work in the same area.
