URBAN DISTRICT OF CHISWICK
EDUCATION (AIMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS) ACT„ 1907.
REPORT ON THE MEDICAL INSPECTION AND TREATMENT OF
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CHILDREN FOR THE YEAR ENDED
DECEMBER 31st, 1920.
TO THE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE
EDUCATION COMMITTEE,
Ladies and Gentlemen,,
I have the honour to submit herewith my Annual Report on
the Medical Inspection of the school children and on the
treatment carried out at the various Clinics and elsewhere
The Board of Education has made suggestions as to the
scope and arrangement of the Report and I have endeavoured
to arrange my statements and tables accordingly.
1. STAFF.
The Staff of the School Medical Department is at present
as follows s:-
(1) School Medical Officer (The Medical Officer of
Health)„
(2) Two School Nurses.
(3) Clerk (half-time). The remainder of her time is
devoted to Maternity and Child Welfare work.
(4) Dental Surgeon (whole time).
(5) Clerk for Dental Clinic, who also act3 as assistant
to Dental Surgeon.
During the year 1920, it was decided to appoint a whole
time dentist in the place of the two part time dentists then
employed. The Committee appointed Miss M.M.Loretz, L.D.S..
to that position and she commenced her duties on September
1st, 1920. Nine half days a week are entirely given to the
school Dental Clinic, while the remaining two half days are
devoted to Dental work in connection with the Maternity and
Child Welfare Centres.
2, CO-ORDINATION,
Arrangements have been made whereby there is co-ordination
between the Maternity and Child Welfare Centres, and the
School Inspection Work. When children attending the Centres
reach the school age, their medical history sheets are passed
to the School Medical Officer and thereby a continued record
of history and treatment is obtained.
