Slaughterhouses—There are two licensed slaughterhouses
in the Borough:—
No. 611, Fulham Road, and
No. 640, King's Road.
85 visits of inspection have been made to these
slaughterhouses during the year and the conditions
have been found satisfactory on every occasion.
Food-Preparing Places.—Attention was devoted
during the year to all places where food is prepared,
particularly to the various food kitchens, restaurants
and eating places. These places are as a rule systematically
visited by the woman sanitary inspector, Mrs.
Davies, and during 1924 she has made 415 inspections,
as compared with 384 during 1923. In connection
with these kitchens 29 notices to improve the premises
were served. We have a record of 92 such kitchens in
the Borough but as there is no obligation on such
premises to register with the Public Health Department
we have to depend on the observation of the
inspectors to keep the department informed of the
presence of these kitchens.
During 1924 the usual arrangements have continued
whereby the sanitary inspectors, acting on a rota of
two per week, inspect all the food barrows, market
stalls and food shops in North End Road and other
special localities on Friday and Saturday evenings.
