ROUTINE MEDICAL INSPECTION.
Three age-groups are examined as required by the Board of
Education Grant Regulations No. 19 (1925). These groups are:—
1. Entrants.
2. Intermediates (children having attained their eighth
birthday).
3. Leavers (children having attained their twelfth
day) .
The total number of children examined during the year was
3,819. In 1935, 3,436 were examined.
Routine Medical Inspection is carried out on the school
premises except in those cases where there is a school or maternity
and child welfare clinic conveniently placed. During the year the
arrangements were continued whereby notices were handed to children
stating in lay terms the defect from which they were suffering,
with the request that they should hand these notices to their parents.
In addition to this, a visit is made subsequently by the school
nurse, who urges upon the parent the necessity of getting the defect
remedied.
