SCHOOL HEALTH REPORT TO THE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE ISLE OF MAN BOARD OF EDUCATION I beg to submit for your consideration my report on the work of the school health service during the year ended 31st December, 1970. There were few staff changes during the year, Mr. H. D. Jones, school dental officer, retired in April having served the children of the Island with understanding and care from the time of his appointment in i960. He was succeeded by Mr, A. D. Torry who took up his duties in July. Mrs. J. E. Bayliss, speech therapist, commenced duty in January, her time being shared equally by the school health service and the Health Services Board. I wish to express my thanks to Mr, F. Bickerscaff, the Director of Education, and his staff and to the teaching staffs of the schools for their help and co-operation and to the members of the medical profession who, by their co-operation, have once again contributed to the work of the school health service. A tribute is also due to all the members of the school health service for their hard work during the year. In particular, I should like to thank Mrs. K. M. Vernon for her loyal and conscientious help. In conclusion, I acknowledge with gratitude the interest and support of the members of the Board of Education and the Special Services Committee which are so essential to the continued progress of the school health service. S. V. CULLEN, Principal School Medical Officer.
