In addition to drain-testing and supervision, other duties
fall to a Sanitary Inspector, and, as fairly representing the
work carried out, the numbers of (1) notices served, and (2)
inspections and re-inspections made, are a fair criterion'. In
Lambeth Borough, during 1909, 12532 notices have been
served under the Public Health Act (7158 preliminary, 3772
statutory and 1577 in connection with infectious diseases),
and 25 under the Metropolis Management Acts, making a
total of 12532, dealing with 8219 structural, and 3323 nonstructural,
defects. 6564 complaints were attended to during
1909.
The numbers of inspections and re-inspections carried but
during 1909 by the Male Sanitary Inspectors were 8689 and
61221 respectively, and to these must be added the summary
of work carried out by the Female Sanitary Inspectors,
and the Female Health Visitor (vide pages 120-127 and
135-136).
Other Inspections.
The special work in connection with disinfection, smoke
abatement, inspection of factories and workshops, bakehouses,
restaurants and dining (coffee) rooms, and the carrying
out of the Food and Drugs Acts, is dealt with under
special headings in this Report (vide pp. 120-134, 146-166
post).
