This does not exhaust the list of additional duties, but it is
sufficiently extensive to show that a very considerable increase has
taken place in the work of the Health Department.
On the resignation of the Female Workshop Inspector, the
Medical Officer of Health reported that he was of opinion that a
Female Sanitary Inspector should be appointed to fill the vacancy.
The Committee decided not to do so immediately, but suggested
a re-arrangement of the duties of the outdoor inspectorial staff,
by which the work of the Female Workshop Inspector should be
distributed among other officers, and resolved that at the end of the
year a report as to the working of the new arrangement should be
submitted to them.
