Each school is based on one of the five permanent Health
Centres, the Medical Officer of the Centre being responsible
for periodic medical examinations in the schools and special
examinations in the schools and at the Health Centres. Every
endeavour is made to elicit the co-operation of the teachers
and I am happy to say that this is without exception gladly
forthcoming. In fact, the Borough pjducation Officer and his
administrative and teaching staff form a valuable adjunct to
these Services. The following table gives the present allocation
of schools and specialised services to the various Health
Centres:—
