Duties of Staff.
There are no changes in the distribution and scope of the
duties of the Staff during the year and they remained as in my
Report for 1932.
2.—CO-ORDINATION.
The co-ordination between the School Medical and Maternity
and Child Welfare Services was maintained, every effort
being made to encourage parents to bring their children of
pre-school age to the Maternity and Child Welfare Clinics, so
that such defects as Carious Teeth, enlarged Tonsils and
Adenoids, and errors of vision might be attended to before the
commencement of school life.
The same Medical and Nursing Staff was used in both
services as in previous years.
