Officer of Health was recorded for this programme to give the point
of view of the Ealing Borough Council on the matter of Clean Food.
BATHS AND SWIMMING POOLS.
The Council's swimming baths are equipped with pressure
filters for continuous filtration and the water is treated with
chlorine under strict supervision. Tests for the efficiency of
chlorination are taken daily.
There are three privately owned swimming pools in the
Borough, one of which is not used at present. Chlorine treatment
is carried out at each of the swimming pools in use.
PUBLIC MORTUARY.
The arrangement with the Acton Council for the use of the
Acton Mortuary was continued during the year. 213 bodies were
taken to this Mortuary and post-mortem examinations were carried
out in every case.
There is still an urgent need for the provision of mortuary
accommodation in the Borough of Ealing and this matter is receiving
consideration by the Ealing Borough Council.
