124 visits were made to school departments for the purpose
of Routine Medical Inspection. In addition, numerous other visits
were made regarding Medical Treatment Cases, Special Cases,
Infectious Diseases, etc.
Two half-days in each week are devoted to an Inspection
Clinic, where cases are referred by the School Attendance Committees,
School Attendance Officers and Teachers, also children
found on medical inspection to be in need of further examination.
One clinic is held at the Health Department, the other at the
Isleworth Public Hall. The accommodation at the Public Hall is
not very suitable, no waiting room being provided.

These 3414 children were examined 5055 times, as against 5888
examinations during 1914.
