2. Co-ordination with other Health Services.
The three School Nurses act also as Health Visitors in the
Maternity and Child Welfare work. The School Medical Officer
is also Medical Officer of Health and Medical Officer to the
Maternity and Child Welfare Centre. There is thus close cooperation
between these departments, and this is particularly
useful in connection with the occurrence of Infectious Diseases in
the Schools and in the Borough generally.
