During the year 302 families were visited by the Sanitary Inspectors
at the request of the London County Council in connection with applications
for alternative accommodation. Of this number 25 cases applied on the
grounds of overcrowding and the remaining 277 on medical grounds and the
insanitary condition of their living accommodation,
13 families were found to be living in overcrowded conditions, and reports
were sent to the Director of Housing and Valuer, London County Council,
recommending them for alternative accommodation on the L.C.C.Housing Estates.
61 families were known to have been rehoused during the year.
There is close co-operation between the Housing and Public Health Departments
on all matters relating to housing.
