(8) Staff engaged in housing work :—
The outdoor staff of the Health Department consists
normally of one Chief Inspector and three District
Inspectors.
During the War, two of the District Inspectors joined
the Army and the third left to take up a position
elsewhere, whilst the Chief Inspector carried on
as best he could. Upon their discharge from the
Army the two District Inspectors resumed duty,
but sanction to fill the vacancy for a third
Inspector has not been granted by the Council,
notwithstanding representations made by the
Health Committee.
There is no officer appointed wholly for housing duties,
which are carried out by the above staff in conjunction
with their other duties. In such
circumstances, it is quite "impracticable to make
a general survey of the district, and none has
been attempted.
