INTERNATIONAL CERTIFICATES OF VACCINATION
AND INOCULATION
At the request of the Ministry of Health and in order to comply
with the International Sanitary Regulations 164 certificates were dealt
with during the year.
FOOD HYGIENE REGULATIONS, 1955
All food premises are visited by the Public Health Inspectors
and advice given on the requirements of the Regulations. During
the year written notice of such requirements was given in respect
of 58 premises.
Although the Food Hygiene Regulations have been in existence
for two years, the education of many cafe owners seems to be a very
slow and discouraging process. It is to be hoped, however, that the
steady infiltration of the self-service store and prepacked foods may
raise the standards of food hygiene despite the reluctance of the
public to demand a greater cleanliness both in preparation and
display of food-stuffs.

There were no prosecutions for unlicensed trading during 1957.
