DISINFECTION AND DISINFESTATION
(a) General
The services formerly operated by Islington and Finsbury were to a very large
extent integrated. As a result the bulk of the steam disinfection was undertaken at
Finsbury Health Centre, and disinfection and disinfestation of premises was in the
main carried out by staff operating from the Islington Treatment Centre.
The Council reconsidered the charges made in regard to the treatment of
verminous premises. Whereas in the past disinfestation was free in exceptional cases
particularly where hardship would be caused - it was decided to carry out all D. D.T.
treatments free, and thus encourage disinfestation and eliminate as far as possible
the number of verminous premises in the Borough.
Number of rooms disinfected after cases of infectious disease 250
Number of rooms treated for vermin 1,125
Upon request a full-scale disinfection of one of the children's wards in a
hospital in the Borough was carried out following a persistent infection by S.Brandenburg,
A team of six working all day systematically scrubbed all floors, walls, ceilings,
partitions etc., and then sprayed everything in the ward. Apparently the treatment was
quite successful since there were no further cases reported from the ward in question.
Sixteen visits were paid by the Public Health Inspector to a factory to supervise
the treatment of clothing and other materials for export. The total weight of bales
treated was 30 tons 10 cwts. In addition, 18 oven loads were steam disinfected at the
Treatment Centre for the Company concerned.
(b) Steam Disinfection
During the year 4,870 articles of clothing or bedding were steam disinfected.
