The arrangements for securing the close correlation of the
School Medical Service with that of other Health Services in
West Ham are in complete accordance with the suggestions
made by the Board of Education.
The advantages of the unification of the Services are manifest
in the way of promoting economy and efficiency.
The School Medical Officer is also Medical Officer of Health,
and directs and supervises the work of a large School Medical
Staff.
The Bye-Laws Department daily notifies the Medical Officer
of Health of absentees from school on medical grounds.
The Tuberculosis Officer is constantly in touch with the
School Medical Department, reporting on children referred to
him by the Assistant School Medical Officers who have been sent
away for Institutional treatment.
