Infectious disease visiting
The Council employs three infectious disease visitors whose duty
it is to visit the homes of persons who are stated to be suffering from
a notifiable infectious disease. All the infectious disease visitors are
state registered nurses, and two are also registered fever nurses. The work
they do is in addition to visits paid by the food inspectors to cases of
food poisoning and by the district public health inspectors on certain
other occasions.
