The School Nurses continue to visit all cases of non-notifiable infectious disease, and,
as has been pointed out in previous years, this work takes up a considerable part of the nurses'
visiting time, and when the number of cases is large the other work suffers to some extent.
As usual in cases of Diphtheria, all home contacts have been swabbed, and in cases
where it was thought that the infection might be in the school, all school contacts have also
been examined.
The campaign in regard to immunisation against Diphtheria has been continued during
the year, and a full report of this work will appear in my Annual Report as Medical Officer of
Health.
