SCABIES:
Arising out of the very large number of cases of scabies dealt with or referred
to the Council's Cleansing Station and the desirability of treatment for Scabies
being given as far as practicable on family basis, the Public Health Committee
approved the appointment of two Assistant Nurses to Assist in the work under the
Scabies Order, both at the Cleansing Station and in domiciliary visiting. These
appointments have help-ad considerably in dealing with the problem.
Arrangements were -.1 so made for a Medical Officer to attend weekly at the
Cleansing Station to deal with special cases referred by the Nursing staff the
Station or where medical supervision was required on account of secondary septicinfection
in addition to Scabies or lice infestation.
Scabies became notifiable on the 1st August 1945, under the County of London
Scabies Regulations.
