§ Dr. A. Thompsonasked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he will consider issuing advice to teachers on how to deal with schoolchildren who are subject to attacks of asthma.
§ Mr. MaclayIt is unusual for asthmatic children who are fit to attend ordinary schools to have an acute attack in school. When this does occur the emergency arrangements made under the school health service have proved adequate to provide the medical advice and assistance necessary. Children suffering from severe asthma can of course attend special schools for the physically handicapped or in some areas they may have treatment at special clinics.
