(ii) Co-ordination of the work of the School Medical Service
with that of the Juvenile Employment Committee and
of the certifying factory Surgeon for the District.
The Health Reports for Juvenile Employment cards are taken
from the medical inspection records and are entered in the Health
Department. Where by reason of absence at Medical Inspection,
sufficiently recent medical records do not exist, the cases are
summoned to the Inspection Clinics and the necessary data
obtained. These represent the limits of the services rendered by
the School Medical Staff I am unable to say what relationship
exists between the Juvenile Employment Committee and the
certifying factory Surgeon for the District.
(iii) The findings of the School Medical Service as regards

From the time the Bye-Laws became effective in October
