CLEANSING AND DISINFECTING STATION.
Male adults are treated at the Cleansing Station attached
to the Central Depot in High Street, Hornsey. Women and
children are dealt with at the Cleansing Station close by the
School Clinic at the rear of the Town Hall. Disinfection of
clothing is carried out by agreement with the Finchley, Hornsey,
Wood Green and Friern Barnet Joint Hospital Committee at the
Isolation Hospital, Muswell Hill.
All these arrangements are working satisfactorily and assist
the staffs of the Public Health, Maternity and Child Welfare and
School Medical Departments in combating head lice and improving
the general standard of cleanliness. No legal action has been
taken under the Scabies Order in 1944.
