During a two-year study of a developmental surveillance programme covering all children under 5 in a large general practice in the south of England, 2157 children were examined, including 382 newborn babies seen at home. Suspected disorders--excluding those found during non-routine consultations--were discovered in 232 children (15% of boys and 11% of girls), of whom 171 (104 boys and 67 girls) were referred to specialist agencies. The number and nature of the disorders show that routine surveillance on the lines proposed by the Court Committee is worth while. Nevertheless, such programmes could not be started on a national scale without increased resources for the specialist services to which more children would need to be referred.
在一项针对英格兰南部一家大型全科诊所内所有5岁以下儿童的发育监测项目的两年研究中，共检查了2157名儿童，其中包括382名在家中接受检查的新生儿。发现了232名儿童存在疑似疾病（不包括在非例行会诊中发现的疾病）（男孩中的15%和女孩中的11%），其中171名（104名男孩和67名女孩）被转介到专科机构。疾病的数量和性质表明，按照法院委员会提议的方式进行常规监测是值得的。然而，如果不为需要转介更多儿童的专科服务增加资源，此类项目就无法在全国范围内启动。
