The pioneer work initiated by the School Medical Department
has resulted in the encroachment of the Maternity and Child
Welfare Centre upon its Clinic accommodation.
The average attendance at the School Minor Ailment and
Consultation Clinic is ninety, at the Ophthalmic Clinic thirty, at
the Aural Clinic twenty, at the Light Clinic seventy, and at the
Immunization Clinic thirty. In addition all the special examinations,
e.g., Student Teachers, scholarship holders, camp children,
and physically defective children (recommended for admission to
special schools) have to be carried out on the Clinic premises.
The Treatment and Consulting Room also functions as the
bacteriological laboratory of the Public Health Department.
The Nurses' Office (146 square feet) has to serve for seven
School Nurses who, of necessity, must complete their clerical work
at one and the same time.
The Clerks' Office (141 square feet) has to accommodate five
clerks.
I have endeavoured, so far as staff Requipment are concerned,
to ensure that no useful means of preventing the occurrence of
disease, ill-health and invalidity has been overlooked, yet, with
the provision of suitable and adequate accommodation a much
wider application of these methods could result.
