![li.—OTi lER INSPECTIONS Numljcr of special inspections (see note d) 3400 Number of re-inspections (see note o 4814 Total 827!,* NOTES ON TAJiEE S 1 {a) The return refers to a complete calendar year. {b) This heading relates solely to the ioutine medical inspection of the three ordinary age groups, i.e., to medical inspection carried oui (i) in comidiance with Article 17 of the Consolidated RegUi .'ions relating to Special Services—Grant Regulations No. 19: (ii) on the school premises (or at a place specially sanctioned by the Board); [ill) for the purpose of making a report on each child on the lines of the approved Schedule set out in Circular 582. (c) Under this heading may he recorded routine inspections, if any, of children who do not fall under the three prescribed age-groups, e.g., routiria, inspections of a fourth age-group or of other groups of children, as distinct from those who are individually selected on account of some sus- pected ill-health for “Special” Inspection. (d) A Special Inspection is a medical inspection by the School Medical Olftcer liirnself or by one of the Medical Ollicers on his staff of a cliild specially selected or referred for such inspection, he., not inspected at a routine medical inspection as defined above. Sucli children may be selected by the Medical Officer during a visit to the School or may be referred to him by the Teachers, School Nurses, .Attendance Officers, Parents, or other- wise. It is immaterial for the pui jiose of this heading whether the children are inspected at the School or at the Inspection Clinic oi- elsewhere. If a child happens to come hefoie the School Medical Officer for si'ecial insi-ec- tion during a year in which it falls into one of the routine groups, its routine inspection is entered in Pait .\ of 'l ahle 1 and its spe< ial inspection in Part B. The inspection recorded under the heading of spiecial inspections is only the first inspection of the child so referred for a particular defect. If a child who has been specially insiteclc'd for one defect is subseiiuently specially inspected for another defect, such suhseciuent inspert.on is recorded as a Special Inspection and not as a Re-inspection. NOTES ON TABLE S 1 -Continued (e) Under this heading is entered tlie medical ins{)ections of children who as the result of a routine or special inspection come up later on for subsequent re-inspection, whether at the School or at the Inspection Clinic. The first inspection in every case is entered as a routine or special insiiec- tion as the case may be. Every suhseqiu'ut ins])ection of the same defect is entered as a re-inspection. Nothing is included under the head of sjiecial inspections or re-inspec- tions except such inspections as are defined above. .Attendances for treatment by a Nurse, or for examinations by anyone other than a Doctor on the staff of the School Medical Service, are not recorded as medical inspections. If, however, at any such attendance a child is also examined by one of the Authority’s Medical Officers, this is recorded as a special inspection or re-inspection as the case may be, even if treatment is also given; but such attendance is also of course recorded as an attendance for treatment.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b2892728x_0121.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
