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 1970, one report was issued to the Local Health Authority under Section
57 (4) of the Education Act, 1944, regarding a child who was found unsuitable for
education at school.
Information was passed to the Local Health Authority about five educationally
sub-normal children who required supervision after leaving school.
