§ Mr. VosperAll teachers entering service for the first time as qualified or temporary teachers in maintained schools, including nursery schools, are required to124W undergo an X-ray test as part of their medical examination. Local education authorities have been asked to consider how far they can require members of their non-teaching staffs, such as attendants in nursery schools, whose work brings them into close contact with children, to undergo this test on entering their employment. They have also been urged to encourage both their teaching and non-teaching staffs to take advantage of the facilities provided for periodic X-ray examinations.
