Ladies ..rid Gentlemen.,
I beg to submit my eighth annual report, for the year 1942, on
tho work of the School Medical Department. As in previous reports
tho report will be brief, t o comply with the Bou.re oi education's
wishes, in that it only aeals v/ith salient fc.cts and changes in the
Department' s :.erviceS.
During t he e....rly part of the year, the Ultra-Violet Light
Clinic was opened. This is held at the Orthopaedic Clinic, Central
Hall, and Miss Walker, the Masseuse, is in charge. Soon after tho
Clinic started, the sessions hue. to be increased in order to cope
with tho waiting lists. Until other suitable premises are available,
this service v/ill fill a very great need amongst the children of
dm on ton.
All other services ..re running normally insofar as the limitations
of staff will aliow, but I might add that the demands on each item
of this Department are no;, Very Oroat.
I would like to mention here how 0 rat „ful I am for the loyal
co-operation of the staff; the iiling efforts of the Head Teachers
and their staff, and the assist-.nee they have given to me through a
very difficult administrative year.
I also extend my grateful thanks to the Chairman and the members
of the Education Committee for their courtesy and interest shown in
the work of the Department.
I have the honour to remain. Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
D. regal.
School iiedical Officer.
