(6) Following-Up.
At the time of Medical Inspection a following-up card is made
out for all children requiring treatment for any defects found. If
the case is one requiring Clinic or Hospital treatment the child
is followed up by home visits made by one of the School Nurses.
If the treatment required is beyond the scope of domestic
measures the family Doctor or Hospital is advised. Both home
and school visits are made in the course of following-up and the
case is not relinquished until adequate improvement is obtained.
Children requiring new glasses are followed up by one of the
School Nurses attached to the area, until glasses are obtained,
and these children and their glasses are re-inspected by the Doctor
within three months.
