Fuller ‘medicals’ wanted
PA Wellington The Health Department should arrange for full medical examinations of all school children at least every three years from primer I onwards, the Educational Institute has decided. Mrs P. M. Puklowski, of Waipa, said there w r as a problem in New Zealand and health services for children should be expanded. The problem was compounded in urban areas with large numbers of different ethnic groups, she said.
Mr J. L. McKenzie, of Auckland, said the Health Department was under the same sinking-lid policy as the Education Department and was stretched to the limit. Some doctors could consider the move to be an extension of State medicine. Mrs Puklowski said such a ■move went a little way to ! implementing the recomimendations of the Johnson report.
