Sir E. Keeling
asked the Minister of Education why the report of her Chief Medical Officer for the year 1948 was not published till the end of 1951.
Miss Horsbrugh
The report of my Chief Medical Officer for the years 1948–49 was published on 16th January. Much of the material for these reports comes from the annual reports of school medical officers, many of which do not reach my Department until nearly the end of the year following that to which they relate. I am asking local education authorities to send in these reports more promptly in future, and my Chief Medical Officer hopes to publish his report for 1950–51 towards the end of this year.
