Report of the Medical Officer of Health.
The total number of workplaces on the Register was 1,181,
and 1,997 inspections were made, while 118 intimation and eight
statutory notices were served.
The total number of defects found was 462, including nine cases
in which there was a breach of special sanitary requirements for
bakehouses, compared with 614 and 13 in 1911.
To abate these nuisances, 374 notices, 355 intimation and 19
statutory were served, all of which, with the exception of 10 were
complied with at the end of the year. The 10 outstanding were
complied with in the first month of this year.
Excluding outworkers' premises 462 defects were found and
452 remedied, but only 355 intimation notices were served, as one
notice frequently called attention to several defects on the same
premises.
