(f) Health Visitors
The policy commenced during 1961 by the Surrey County Council as
part of a general review of health visitors' duties for the employment
of state registered nurses on a part-time basis to relieve health
visitors of those duties able to be carried out by others less highly
qualified was continued. Six sessionally employed state registered
nurses (the equivalent of 2 full-time nurses) were employed during the
year for routine medical inspection duties in secondary schools,
minor ailment clinics, immunisation sessions at both primary and secondary
schools etc. It is not intended by this policy that the time devoted
to the school health service by health visitors should diminish but that
some of their time should be available for other duties such as health
education and visiting the homes of pupils found to have defects at
medical and hygiene inspections when necessary.
