Every ease of Infectious Disease notified to me is
reported to the Sanitary Inspector, who visits and reports to
me in all cases which I do not personally investigate, and
who also supplies disinfectants, sees to the patients removal
to the Isolation Hospital, when such a course is adopted, and
disinfects the premises, bedding, clothing, &c.
At the end of the year the district was in a healthy
condition, few cases of Infectious Disease having been
notified.
Periodical inspection of the various parts of the district
have been made, a few samples of drinking water, whose
purity was suspected, have been analysed by me, and when
found to be impure the South Essex Company's water has
been laid on. Insanitary conditions have where ascertained
been remedied by the intervention of the Sanitary Inspector,
a detailed report of such instances being incorporated with
this report.
