Abstract
The need for special health services for children in school is being questioned. The staff of the school medical service comprises many more nurses than health visitors and doctors (Figure 1) (Nurses: 2671; doctors and health visitors: 1827). In 1977 a study of the school nursing and medical services in the north Paddington district of London revealed that over one-third of children had problems (Figure 3). The proportions were higher in infant school (5–7) than in junior school (8–9). The types of problems were more physical than behavioural (Table 1).
