2. CO-ORDINATION.
There are four School Nurse-Health Visitors on the staff
each devoting one half of her time to the School Medical
Service.
Their districts for health visiting are arranged so as to
include, as far as possible, the schools for which they are
responsible as school nurses. Full particulars of this reorganisation
were given in the report for 1936.
This has ensured a close co-operation between the School
Medical Service and the Maternity and Child Welfare
Department.
The School Medical Department with its Ophthalmic,
Dental, Minor Ailment, and Orthopedic Clinics is centralised
in the Health Centre at Pelham Road, and two of the three
Maternity and Child Welfare Centres in the Borough are conducted
in this same building.
When any of the children attending the Maternity and
Child Welfare Centres or the Day Nursery attain the age of
five years, their medical records are forwarded to the office
of the School Medical Department in order that they may be
incorporated with their school medical inspection cards.
