The scheme for the Routine Medical Inspection of pre-school children was continued as far as possible during 1945, but shortage of staff curtailed the number of examinations. During the year under review, routine medical inspection was carried out in 822 children of two, three and four years of age. Of this number, 110 were admitted to school during the year and ])articulars of the treatment of those cases are included in that part of the Report dealing with school children. Of the remaining 712 routine medical inspections, 218 children were referred for treatment and 252 placed niu’er observation. In a number of these cases, children with more than one defect are included under both headings. The number of individual children requiring treatment or observa- tion, or both, was 318. In addition, 531 re-inspections and 33 special examinations were made. It is hoped, wdienever meflical staff becomes available again, to recommence in full the scheme of periodic medical inspection.
