(7) Following Up.
At the time of examination a Medical "Following-up"
Card is made out for all children requiring treatment. If not
referred to one of the School Clinics the case is followed up
hy home visits made by one or other of the School Nurses.
If the treatment required is beyond the scope of simple
domestic measures the family Doctor or Hospital is advised,
where the case is not otherwise suitable for Clinic treatment.
In the course of following-up both home and school visits are
made. In addition, these cases marked out for treatment form
the basis of the Doctor's re-inspection at a subsequent visit
to the School or Clinic.
