Children.
All children of school age who are suffering or suspected to be suffering
from tuberculosis are now kept under frequent observation either by the
London County Council School Medical Officers or by the Tuberculosis
Officers. Case cards are exchanged with the School Medical Officers regarding
all such children examined, and the necessary observati n is then carried out
either by them or by the Tuberculosis Officers— depending upon the nature of
the individual case.
