The problems associated with the old people continue to occupy a
large proportion of the Lady Sanitary Inspector's time. Many
sources of information are available to her and this Department is a
sort of "clearing house" for the troubles of the aged. She is called
upon to advise on health matters; to arrange on occasions for the
provision of adequate domiciliary help and nursing facilities; to
provide for cleansing and bathing where required and to obtain
admission to hospitals and homes. It is apparent, therefore, that
close liaison must exist between the Public Health Department and
the hospitals, institutions, G.P's and Local Health Authority
