CO-OPERATION WITH THE MILITARY SANITARY
SERVICE.
The Public Health Staff have continued to help the Military
Authorities in every possible way on the lines laid down by the
Local Government Board in various letters and memoranda.
The sanitary arrangements of the important Military camps
formed in the Borough during the past year have been put into
a Satisfactory condition; the work of the Sanitary Inspectors in
this direction has undoubtedly been of the first importance in
bringing about this desirable state of affairs.
DISINFECTION.
A total of 4,126 articles were disinfected for the military
during this period. A detailed statement will be found on page 47.
SANITARY WORK.
The Tables on pages 88 to 92 summarise, as far as possible,
the Sanitary work of the Department; from this it will be seen that
a total of 11,614 houses and premises have been inspected or reinspected
during the year; 1,052 intimation notices have been
served, and 137 statutory notices
With the exception of prosecutions in connection with the Sale
of Food and Drugs Act, it was not found necessary to institute
Police Court proceedings in any case during the year.
There were altogether throughout the year 290 complaints
entered in the Public Complaints Register of the Department;
these were in each case carefully investigated, and any necessary
action immediately taken; thus there are none of these matters left
outstanding or unattended to.
