To The Chairman and Members of the
Walthamstow Education Committee.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Following the inaugural meeting of your Committee in February
I was nominated as Borough School Medical Officer and I beg to
present herewith a Report on the work of the School Health Service
in Walthamstow during 1946.
I am glad to be able to report that the nutritional condition
of children attending school appears to be well maintained.
During the year your Committee agreed in principle to the
increase in the scope of dental and child guidance facilities.
The resignation of Dr. Wilfrid Sheldon who inaugurated the
Cardiac and Rheumatism Clinic 16 years ago was received with
great regret.
I have again to thank you for your consideration and to
acknowledge the good work put in by the staff concerned with the
School Health Service.
As in previous years, friendly and helpful co-operation has been
received from the Borough Education Officer and all his staff.
I am,
Your obedient Servant,
A. T. W. POWELL,
Borough School Medical Officer.
