Report
of the School Medical Officer.
March, 1934.
To the Chairman and Members of the Education Committee
of the Royal Borough of Kingston-uponThames.
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen,
I have the honour to present my Annual Report for the
year 1933.
The average number of children on the school register
for the year was 3,812.
In addition there were 45 children on the books of the
Special Open Air Day School at the end of the year.
Medical inspection, orthopaedic, eye, nose, throat, and
dental work were carried out on the same lines as before.
The centralisation of the Health Services at Grange
Road greatly facilitates administration, and results in easy
and close co-operation between the Public Health and
School Medical Services.
The Schools have enjoyed a year of comparative freedom
from notifiable infectious diseases.
The year may be regarded as a very satisfactory one
in which much work was carried out, and the efficiency of
the Service well maintained.
There was no change in the Staff of the School Medical
Service, all members of which I thank for their loyal
support throughout the year.
I am, Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
E. W. MATTHEWS,
School Medical Officer.
