These clinics, in addition to being used as treatment centres are
available for consultation purposes. Here children are seen at the request
of the parents or of the teachers or for a more detailed examination of a
particular child seen at a periodic medical inspection in school.
Minor Ailment Clinics
These clinics deal mainly with odd slight injuries, such as sprains,
burns, cuts, a few of the common skin infections and minor defects of the
eye and ear. Despite the growth in the school population, the number
attending these "minor ailment" sessions has tended to fall over the past
few years. However, as mentioned above, the sessions are also used much
more for consultation and special examination purposes at which the
medical and nursing staff can devote much more detailed attention to a
particular child's problems.
