At the routine medical inspection of employed children at
school five were found to be suffering in health and their employment
was discontinued. Sixteen children were found to be employed
without being registered under the Byelaws and one girl was found
to be under age.
MISCELLANEOUS.
All medical examinations made at the Health Centres, including
those of children referred by the Education Committee, Headteachers,
School Enquiry Officers and School Nurses are included
under this term.
Children may be submitted for examination at the Health
Centres at 9.30 a.m. on certain days of the week. Those submitted
are usually children suspected of having verminous heads or bodies,
of 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 child with an actual or suspected
defect and not under medical care may be submitted by the headteachers
for examination.
