LECTURES
During the year 35 lectures were given by qualified members of the
staff to local community associations, schools and commercial and industrial
organisations. These lectures provide an opportunity to stimulate
public interest in food hygiene, smoke abatement and the other varied
aspects of the work of the public health inspector and are a valuable contribution
to both public relations and health education.
