medical inspection in school. Special clinics are run for defects
of vision, hearing and speech and also provision is made for

detect defects in hearing which can pass unnoticed and may be
having an adverse effect on a child's educational progress.
7. Provision of convalescent holidays.
8. Ascertainment of children unsuitable for education.
General provision has been made in the County for three special
units where expert advice and treatment can be obtained for children
afflicted with hearing loss or the defects associated with cerebral palsy.
These units are situated in Tottenham, Hounslow and Neasden. The
Neasden unit opened in 1963 and has brought these facilities much
nearer to the Borough of Harrow, thus saving much time before spent in
travelling to the other units.
