Sanitary Administration of the District. 65
SANITARY ADMINISTRATION OF THE DISTRICT
Staff.
The inspectorial staff consists of the Chief Sanitary
Inspector and two District Inspectors. The Chief
Inspector deals particularly with the inspection of
meat and other foods, and the inspection of dairies,
cowsheds and milkshops, and also supervises the work
of the District Inspectors whom he assists or advises
and from whom he takes over any work which he or
the Medical Officer of Health considers of such importance
as to require his own personal attention. All the
general sanitary work of the district is divided between
the two District Iaspectors, the one dealing with the
Northern and the other the Southern half of the Borough.
Three health visitors are employed in the public
health department, one acting as Senior, who has
supervisory and other special duties, the other two
acting as District Health Visitors their areas being
sim lar to those of the District Inspectors.
Hospital for Infectious Diseases.
The Isolation Hospital for Infectious Diseases is
situated on the southern boundary and within a stone's
throw of the isolation hospitals for Chiswick and Brentford.
During the year a suggestion was put forward
that these three hospitals might be combined in order
to effect a saving in expenditure. A conference of
representatives of the three districts was held, when the
whole question was discussed. Although no definite
decision was come to at the conference, nevertheless
the way was opened for further discussion, which is
still being continued.
