4. MEDICAL INSPECTION.
No change has been made in the method of selection of children
for inspection from that adopted in previous years.
All children are examined at least three times during their school
career, i.e., as "Entrants," "Intermediate" and "Leavers."
Children found at inspection with medical defects are referred for
treatment either to their family Doctor or to the School Clinics,
or, if only requiring supervision, are "re-inspected" once a year
or more frequently if possible. Complete lists of children eligible
for routine inspection under the above three groups are made out
from the current duplicate registers supplied by the Superintendent
School Attendance Officer. The schools are notified of the children
to be inspected and invitations are issued to all parents to attend
the inspection. The inspections are carried out by the Medical
Officers assisted by one of the School Nurses. Schools are arranged
in groups so that continuity of inspection by the same Officers
is secured.
The following Table gives a summary of the returns of Medical
Inspections for the last five years:—
