CO-ORDINATION.
The School Medical Officer is also Medical Officer of
Health.
The School Nurses are also Health Visitors, and each
carries out Maternity, Child Welfare, Infant Life Protection
and School work.
The Offices of the School Medical Service and Public
Health Department together with the Clinics, Welfare
Centre, and Open Air Day School are situated at the Health
Centre in Grange Road.
This centralisation of Health Services, both administrative
and executive, is ideal and forms the most efficient
unit, possible.
SCHOOL HYGIENE.
External painting and internal decorations were carried
out at Richmond Road and St. Peter's Schools.
The School Clinic and Offices were painted externally.
Part of the playground at St. John's School was paved
with asphalt.
The unoccupied Tiffin Boys' School was entirely reconditioned
and altered to accommodate children from St.
Agatha's School which closed at the end of July.
The School is now known as St. Joseph's and will
accommodate 280 pupils.
MEDICAL INSPECTION.
All Departments of every School are visited by the
School Medical Officer each term for the purpose of carrying
out Routine, Special and Re-inspections.
A full description of the methods employed at these
inspections was set out in the Annual Report for 1930.
