The importance of parental attendance at medical inspections
cannot be overstressed. It is regrettable, but understandable, that the
percentage should decrease with the increasing age of the child, and
with the considerable employment of mothers.
The "leaver" inspections are of importance in regard to fitness
for employment, and the attendance of parents at these inspections
is to be encouraged.
(b) Co-operation of Teachers.
Renewed and grateful acknowledgement for the co-operation of
Head Teachers and their staffs must be made. Generous help and
co-operation has invariably been experienced, especially in the use
of their private and staff rooms for medical inspection—often at
great inconvenience.
(c) Co-operation of School Enquiry Officers.
The Senior School Enquiry Officer and his staff have again
co-operated most effectively with the work of the School Health
Service.
(d) Co-operation of Voluntary Bodies.
The existing arrangements for the admission of pupils to holiday
convalescent homes by arrangement with the Local Branch of the
I.C.A.A. continued, and included a grant of some £200 per annum
plus a placement fee of 23/- per child to the Association.
