To the Chairman and Members of Salop Education Committee. Ladies and Gentlemen, I beg to present my eighteenth Annual Report as Medical Officer to the Salop Local Educa¬ tion Authority. The combined scheme of School Medical Inspection and Child Welfare has been further advanced and continues to work well. The school clinics have continued to grow in usefulness and now form an important part of the scheme of medical inspection and treatment. The Medical Officers now attend £&&& School Clinics once a week and one once a fortnight. They also attend nine Child Welfare Centres once a week, three once a fortnight and one once a month. The limit has now been reached so that it will not be possible to provide more pro¬ fessional services for Centre work without an increase of the staff. The educational part of the scheme of medical inspection has again not received the attention that it deserves, owing principally to pressure of other work. I am, Ladies and Gentlemen, Your obedient Servant, JAMES WHEATLEY, County Buildings, /A C County Medical Officer of Health, Shrewsbury, and School Medical Officer. April, 1926. •Ml
