Minor Ailments.
Owing to difficulties in connection with the fitting up of the
centres, it was not possible to open them until the 6th and 7th
December. One centre is situated at the Alexandra School Clinic
and the other at the Isleworth Public Hall, and a session is held
at each centre once a week. Five sessions were held during
December, and 9 individual children were treated, making 12
attendances between them. The diseases treated were :—Impetigo,
6 ; Scabies, Acne and Corneal Ulcer, 1 each. An inclusive charge
of 6d. per attendance is made to cover the cost of dressings, ointment,
lotions, etc.
DEFECTIVE CHILDREN.
During the year, further progress has been made in the
classification of Mentally Abnormal children, detailed examinations
of 9 children having been made, 3 of them being definitely defective,
while 4 other children were classified at routine medical inspection
as dull or backward.
The numbers of other defective children have not materially
changed since the detailed statement made in the annual report
for 1914.
I am, Ladies, and Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
W. BRAMELL REID,
School Medical Officer.
