To the Members of the Education Committee
of the Borough of Wimbledon.
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen,
I have the honour to submit my Annual Report on the
Medical Inspection and Treatment of School Children in the
Wimbledon area for the year ending 31st December, 1927.
The Report has been prepared on the lines suggested by
the Chief Medical Officer of the Board of Education in 1920,
and in accordance with the Schedule to Form 6M (15th
November, 1927).
Administration:—
(a) Staff:—Mrs. Street, School Nurse—Health Visitor,
who resigned in February, 1927, was fortunately able to continue
in office until her successor, Miss J. E. D. Elder,
commenced duty.
(b) Duties:—A slight re-arrangement of the duties of
the medical officers was made in April, 1927, to permit the
carrying out of bacteriological work (v. Report of Medical
Officer of Health).
