CO-ORDINATION.
There is no need to discuss the co-ordination of the School
Medical and the Maternity and Child Welfare Services which has
been described in previous annual reports as very complete and in
which there has been no alteration during the year.
Children between the age of one and five years who
were submitted for medical examination at the Maternity and Child
Welfare Centres on the general lines of the School Medical schedule
numbered during the year 1,845. By arrangement with the
Education Committee treatment of the defective conditions found
in these children is offered at the School Clinic in the same way
as for children in attendance at school.
