    <1 v » An inspection clinic is held on Saturday morning; the cases seen include :— (1) Certain cases seen at school that require further examination. (2) Children attending for examination previous to being sent to special schools. (3) Children sent bv the Superintendent of Attendance Officers, to be ex¬ amined as to their fitness for school. The value of co-ordination of the work of the School Medical Service with that of the School Attendance Department is increasingly manifest. Frequent conferences occur (if necessary daily) between the School Medical Officers and the Superintendent of School Attendance Officers, and the work of the two branches is harmonised as far as possible. There have been 10,276 attendances at the Town Hall during the year. A Clinic is held at North Reddish on one afternoon a week. A Nurse attends weekly and the Doctor fortnightly, recorded.
