A 100% inspection has been maintained, but this has necessitated
evening and often weekend attendance of at least one Inspector.
Eight of the District Public Health Inspectors have
assisted the two regular meat inspectors, on a rota system, with
this "after normal hours" duty.
The following tables summarise the meat inspection service at the abattoir:-
