II.—Following-up and Medical Treatment:—
Following-up is undertaken by the Head Teachers, who submit
reports to the School Medical Officer.
Ophthalmic and dental treatment is given at the school clinics on
the production of a receipt from the Head Teacher, who collects from
the scholars the payments in respect of such treatment.
In all other instances scholars found to have defects are referred to
their family medical advisers or to hospitals.
On pages 45-46 will be found a record of the treatment given.
