Open Air Schools.
(10) There are two Open Air Schools, one at Fyfield (Residential)
, near Ongar, to accommodate 80 boys and (30 girls, and
one within the Borough at Crosby Road (Day), to accommodate
60 girls and 80 boys.
No case of infectious disease has occurred at these schools
during the year.
Additional District Medical Officers.
Owing to the exceptional amount of work which devolved upon
the whole-time District Medical Officers, it was found necessary
to appoint two part-time temporary District Medical Officers for
one year. At the expiration of this period the whole question of
this service is to be again considered in view of the re-organisation
that may be necessitated owing to the retirement of certain of the
permanent staff, and also the proposed legislation of the Government
with regard to outdoor assistance.
