Some difficulty was experienced in filling the vacancy,
with the result that the staff was short of one half-time
School Nurse for a period of two months. Miss A. G.
Gumbleton was then appointed, and took up her duties on
June 2nd.
CO-ORDINATION.
The School Medical Officer being also Medical Officer
of Health, and the Nurses' duties being arranged so that
each Nurse gains experience in all branches of both School
and Maternity and Child Welfare Work, secures that the
Staff looks after infants both before and after they reach
school age, and makes for efficient working between the
various ramifications of the Public Health Services.
Medical Record Cards of those infants who have attended
the Maternity and Child Welfare Centres are transferred
to the School Medical Service as soon as these infants
attain the age of five.
Close touch is kept between the School Attendance
Officers and the School Medical Department.
The office and Clinic are temporarily housed at the
Domestic Subjects Centre in Bonner Hill Road, but they
will be transferred to the new building now in the course
of erection in Grange Road on its completion in the Spring
of 1931.
