DISINFECTING DEPARTMENT.
During 1903, good work has been done in connection with the
Disinfecting Department—4,012 infected rooms and 26,957
infected articles (bedding, etc.) being dealt with, as compared
with 5,857 and 42,035 respectively during 1902. The total
number of notifiable infectious diseases that have been reported
during the year 1903 is less than that registered in any previous
year (Vesty or Borough), but a large amount of disinfection has
also been carried out in connection with cases of Measles (1,346),
Whooping Cough (325), Tuberculosis (269), and Chickenpox
(316). 13 Cancer cases have been dealt with during 1903 as
compared with 34 during 1902. Full details are to be found on
pages 126-8.
Of the compulsorily notifiable diseases, 1587 have been dealt
with, including 40 cases of Chicken-pox (which was notifiable
from January 1st to January 6th, 1903). 7 public and 1 private
Schools, have been disinfected in connection with outbreaks of
infectious disease, and 39 Smallpox infected rooms have been
stripped (after disinfection) by the Borough Council's men.
