I fear there is no prospect of any improvement in the
public health Inspectors' staffing position until the present
salary awards are revised and the change of designation recommended
in the Government Working Party's Report is implemented.
This Council is making a substantial contribution in an
endeavour to improve the recruitment of Sanitary Inspectors.
Three clerks are now being given facilities to train and study for
the Inspectors' qualifying examination. The policy is a long-term
one as the training period is of four years' duration.
