2.—Re-Inspections.
Systematic re-inspections are made each term at the
School by the School Medical Officer of all children for
whom " Following-up" Cards have been made out at
previous Routine or other Inspections, and the results of
treatment ascertained and entered on the card.
When it is found that no advice has been sought or
treatment obtained, a second notice is issued to the parents
again calling their attention to the defect, and recommending
them to seek advice forthwith.
Further failure to procure treatment is dealt with by
home visits by the School Nurses.
All cases for u'rgent treatment are kept under
observation by the School Nurses under the direction of the
School Medical Officer who may re-inspect the children
at any time.
3.—Special Inspections.
Children are brought before the School Medical Officer
at the Schools or sent to the Clinic by the Teachers for
his opinion and advice.
In keeping Medical Records, the dossier system is
employed, in which all records relating to an individual
child are filed in one covering envelope.

In only one instance did a parent object to Medical
examination of a child.
This was in the case of an extra-district child attending
St. Joseph's School, and was the first objection received
for very many years.
