Report of Lady Inspector (Miss Tatters all).
Public Health Department,
December 31st, 1910.
To the Medical Officer of Health.
Sir,—
I beg to present my eleventh Annual Report which deals with
the work done in factories, workshops, among outworkers, and other
miscellaneous inspections during the year 1910.
During the year one notice was served where the sanitary accommodation
was unsatisfactory.
Scabies (Itch) and Verminous Children.
I have visited a number of houses from which children were excluded
from school when suffering from scabies, or on account of their verminous
condition, and have had bedding disinfected and cleansing carried out.
Inspection of Schools.
The sanitary accommodation in the whole of the elementary schools
in the Borough has been inspected and various defects remedied.
Outworkers.
The outworkers' lists have been inspected at the premises from which
work was given out, and 142 lists have been received from employers in
the Borough; 342 lists have been forwarded from other Boroughs containing
the names of persons who live in Poplar; 329 lists have been
sent to other Councils containing the names of persons who work for
employers in Poplar.
The following is a tabulated statement of further details
