(2) Co-ordination.
The School Medical Officer is also Medical Officer of Health,
and there !s the closest possible co-operation between the various
Departments under his control.
(a) Co-ordination between the School Medical Service and
the Maternity and Child Welfare work is effected by the transfer
of the Visiting Card used by the Health Visitors, and on which
the infant's previous record is made, to the School Medical
Department, on the child attaining the age of 5 years or being
entered at a school, so that this may be available as a guide to the
Doctor at Routine Medical Inspection.
(b) Nursery Schools.—There is one private Nursery Class
in the Borough, but it is not supervised by the Local Education
Authority. The establishment of two Nursery Schools, one in the
North and the other in the South of the Borough, is now under
consideration.
(c) Care of Debilitated Children under School Age.—These
are brought to the notice of the School Medical Officer by such
voluntary agencies as the Invalid and Crippled Children's Society
and the Invalid Children's A.id Association. Hitherto the
examination of these children has been carried out by the Chief
Assistant School Medical Officer, and various lines of treatment,
e.g., convalescence, surgical instruments, hospital, or other forms
of treatment recommended. This work is now partly undertaken
by the Assistant Medical Officer for the Maternity and Child Welfare
(Dr. Helen Campbell).
(d) The Bye-Laws Department, through the Superintendent
of Visitors, notifies the Medical Officer of Health of daily
absentees from school on medical grounds.
(e) The Tuberculosis Officer is frequently in touch with the
School Medical Officer regarding tuberculous school children, and
the Assistant School Medical Officers are empowered to refer to the
Tuberculosis Officer cases of suspicious tuberculosis which come
tinder their notice among school children.
