§ Sir J. LEIGHasked the President of the Board of Education whether the promised close co-operation between his Department and the Ministry of Health is now effective; whether the school medical officers are working with medical officers of health without any serious friction; and how many medical staff he is retaining in addition to those at the Health Ministry?
§ Lord EUSTACE PERCYThe answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative, and also the answer to the second, as far as I am aware. The number of medical officers engaged exclusively at the Board of Education is seven.
