Health chief warns cuts curtail school health program
Dr. Darlington urged the Board of Estimate to fund the bureau of child hygiene fully, warning that a reduced appropriation of 329,349 from the requested 443,250 will shrink staff across Manhattan to 70 physicians and 64 nurses, the Bronx to 13 physicians and 12 nurses, and other boroughs, threatening school inspections and infant eye care. He argued the program saves money by preventing illnesses and promoting promotions, noting high per-child costs and potential long term losses without adequate funding.
