Handicapped Pupils.
All handicapped children attending special schools, either day or residential, are
medically reviewed by the School Health Service at least once a year, and sometimes
more frequently so that their progress and special educational treatment can be assessed.
During 1967 reports were issued to the Local Health Authority under Section 57
(4) of the Education Act, 1944, regarding five children who were found unsuitable
for education at school.
Information was passed to the Local Health Authority about eight educationally
sub-normal children who required supervision after leaving school.
