This has in some measure been made possible in the various
Blocks by the judicious movement of children to the Scattered
Homes as and when required by the influx of new cases.
As reported elsewhere, I have carried out a systematic
routine inspection of all the children. The defects discovered are
being remedied as speedily as possible in order of the urgency of
individual cases.
I have visited the Scattered Homes as and when required, and
am pleased to report that the health and wellbeing of the children

suited to the requirements of the various groups of children.
The dental work has been carried out with promptness and
efficiency by Mr. Rose.
Mental Deficiency Acts, 1913-27.
The ascertainment and supervision of persons coming within
the scope of these Acts, and the examination, certification and
completion of reports for the Board of Control and other Authorities,
have been carried out satisfactorily. The administration of
the mentally deficient plays no inconsiderable part in Public Health
procedure.
