HC Deb 12 December 1946 vol 431 c255W
21. Mr. Baird

asked the Minister of Education if she will include in any future school-building plans adequate medical inspection rooms in all schools of 150 pupils and upwards.

Miss Wilkinson

Under the regulations prescribing standards for school premises, there must be in every school a room immediately available for medical inspection and treatment, but the regulations do not prescribe the provision of a special room for the purpose in schools of less than 300 pupils. I should be prepared to consider proposals for providing such rooms in smaller schools if the circumstances justify it.
