A.—Routine Medical Inspection.
This heading relates solely to the routine medical inspection of
the three ordinary age groups, i.e., to medical inspection carried
out:—
(1) lu compliance with Article 17 of the Consolidated
Regulations relating to Special Services—Grant Regulations
No. 19.
(2) On the school premises (or at a place specially
sanctioned by the Board).
(3) For the purpose of making a report on each child on
the lines of the approved schedule.
Number of Inspections in the proscribed groups.
Entrants 1,571
Second Ago Group 1,425
Third Ago Group 1,509
Total 4,505
Number of other routine inspections 6l7
5,122
It will be seen from the above that the number of such code
group inspections was 4,505 representing 31 per cent, of the number
of children on the school registers.
Of 4,505 children who wore examined in the code age-groups,
3,708 (or over 83 per cent.) were accompanied by their parents.
Other Routine Inspections.—In addition, other routine
inspections were made of 017 children who did not fall under the
three code ago groups, e.g., routine inspections of a fourth age
group or of other groups of children as distinct from those who are
selected individually on account of some suspected ill-health for
" special " inspection.
The grand total number of children subjected to routine
medical inspection during the year was therefore 5,122.
