Work of the Female Sanitary Inspector.
During 1933 Miss E. H. Sexton, the Council's
Woman Sanitary Inspector carried out the work
summarised in the following table. Her duties
are mainly in connection with factories, workshops,
and workplaces where women are employed,
outworkers' premises, the inspection and supervision
of dining rooms, eating houses and restaurants
(except of restaurants attached to public houses)
and the supervision of aged and infirm tenants;
duties for which a woman of intelligence, specially
trained and experienced in such matters is well
adapted. Miss Sexton also carries out a large
number of infectious disease enquiries requiring
the expert knowledge of a trained nurse.
