Report of the Medical Officer of Health.
The total number of premises inspected was 1,384 and reinspected
2,127. 447 of the inspections were in Clapham, 226
in Putney, 338 in Streatham, 57 in Tooting, and 316 in Wandsworth.
The small number in Tooting is due to the fact that
there is only a small number of workshops in that sub-district at
present.
