The purpose of this change, which dated from the 5th
July, 1948, was to co-ordinate the treatment of school children
with the services provided under the National Health Service
Act, which operated from the date. No description is therefore
given of these services, but they remain substantially as
has been described in previous reports.
The Divisional Executive remains responsible for medical
and dental inspection, cleanliness surveys, the ascertainment
of pupils requiring special educational treatment, matters falling
within Section 57 of the Education Act, which deals with
children who are ineducable or require supervision after
leaving a special school, and for the provision of the child
guidance service.
