C (9). Consultations with local Medical Practitioners.
It is pleasing to again record the happy relationship which
exists between officers of the Health Department and private
practitioners. Practioners invite the opinion of the Medical
Officer of Health in connection with the diagnosis of Infectious
Diseases, and by such action greatly facilitate the work of the
department. It has been the policy of the Department to
encourage such a course in every way.
As the Medical Officer of Health is also the School Medical
Officer complete co-ordination with the Education Department
is assured, while after-supervision either by the family doctor
or the School Medical Officer is encouraged in every way.
CUO). Ear, Nose and Throat.
The arrangement made in 1930 by the Education Committee
with the Royal Waterloo Hospital to undertake the
operative treatment of Tonsils and Adenoids in the school
children continues to function satisfactorily.
The Health Committee appointed Mr. T. P. Gill,
F.R.C.S., as Consulting Aural Surgeon in place of Mr. F. C.
Capps who resigned from the appointment. This appointment
is renewable annually and a retaining fee is paid. The services
of Mr. Gill are available for his opinion, and for operations on
patients in the Sanatorium, as required.
