29. Dr. VERNON DAVIESasked the President of the Board of Education if he has made any estimate of the increased personnel and extra cost for the school medical services necessitated by the compulsory raising of the school age?
§ Sir C. TREVELYANAlthough some extension of the existing arrangements will be necessary, I am advised that the raising of the school age will not in itself involve any material increase in the personnel and cost of the school medical service.
Dr. DAVIESDoes that mean that the Board of Education intends to work the present medical staff more fully than they are being worked at present?
§ Sir C. TREVELYANNo. I said that there was no reason to suppose that it would involve any material increase in the personnel; that is to say, there will not be an additional school inspection, and therefore no increase of work will be required.
