The Findings of Medical Inspection.
Table II. B in the Appendix shows the number of individual
children found at routine medical inspection to require treatment
(excluding uncleanliness and dental disease). The corresponding
figures for the past five years have been:—
1929 26.64 per cent.
1930 24.65 „
1931 25.36 „
1932 23.50 „
1933 18.22 „
Of the 876 other routine inspections, 66 (7.53 per cent.) were found
to be in need of treatment.
Taking these two groups together, it will be seen that, of the
total of 5,793 children examined, 962 (16.60 per cent.) showed
evidence of some defect or other requiring medical attention.
