Report of Inspector, Bromley Central Division.
Public Health Department,
December 31st, 1912.
To the Medical Officer of Health.
Sir,—
I beg to submit to you my twenty-third Annual Report of the Sanitary
Works executed for the remedying of defects and abatement of nuisances,
which have existed in the Central Division of the Sub-District of
Bromley of the Metropolitan Borough of Poplar for the year ended 31st
December, 1912.
Inspection of District.
I have inspected 1,348 premises, 1,086 in response to complaints of
nuisances, and notices received under the London County Council Byelaws
and 111 were in consequence of cases of infectious diseases notified.
All reported cases of measles at the latter part of year, were in accordance
with your instructions, dealt with, almost in a similar manner to the
notified infectious cases, with the result that for want of accommodation
etc., several patients were removed to hospital, as also cases notified
under the Public Health Tuberculosis Regulations. Included in the
151 house-to-house inspections were several carried out under the
Town Planning Act, 1909.
Of the 1,348 premises so dealt with 555 were found to be in a fair
sanitary condition, whilst in 783 premises (the remainder) defects and
nuisances were found to exist, which necessitated sanitary repairs (see
tabulated statement page 189). In the supervision of same 3,520 reinspections
were made.
Public Health Tuberculosis Regulations.
Of the pulmonary tuberculosis cases and for which notifications
were received, inspections were made of the premises, as above stated,
the necessary precautions (disinfection, etc.) adopted, and where
required the work of cleansing was readily carried out by the
responsible persons.
