Zymotic Enteritis
This disease was formerly notifiable in the Metropolitan Borough of Poplar.
It is not now notifiable in Tower Hamlets.
Compensation for Stopping Employment
Section 41 of the Public Health Act 1961 makes provision for a medical
officer of health to request any person to discontinue work with a view to
preventing the spread of infectious disease, such person to be compensated for
any loss suffered as a consequence.
Action was taken in one instance during the year in respect of a man whose
son was a confirmed case of typhoid fever, compensation of £15.3s. being paid.
