Food Hygiene.
The Department's officers continued throughout the year their
efforts to improve the standard of cleanliness and personal hygiene in
premises and persons associated with the manufacture, distribution and
storage of food. A letter was addressed to the occupiers of all food
premises within the Borough drawing attention to the need for improved
standards of hygiene and inviting co-operation in the Council's efforts
to secure this objective.
Rodent Control.
The Rodent Control Scheme operated successfully during the year.
Sewer Maintenance Treatments in accordance with the conditions laid
down by the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries were also carried out.
May I utilise this occasion to express my appreciation of the consideration
shown by the Council in all matters affecting the public health
of the Borough, to my brother officers for their co-operation and to the
entire staff of the Public Health Department for their assistance to me.
I have the honour to be,
Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your Obedient Servant,
W. T. DONOVAN,
Medical Officer of Health.
July, 1950.
