Arrangements have also been made for the admission of
children to the Russell Cotes School of Recovery at Parkstone,
St. Dominic's School of Recovery at Godalming, St. Mary's
School of Recovery at Dover, and to the Institutions of the
Invalid Children's Aid Association. The accompanying table
(p. 25) gives particulars in connection with these children.
In addition the School Medical Service is indebted to the
Invalid Children's Aid Association for rendering assistance in 47
cases, financial responsibility for which was not undertaken by the
Local Authority.
The facility and expeditiousness with which the cases were
dealt with reflects great credit on the administration of this
Association.

Debility and Anæmia | 30 |
Bronchial Catarrh | 7 |
Rheumatic Heart | 2 |
