food trade employees until they are compelled by law to attend
some instruction in what is now well recognised as a potential
danger to public health. The food trades would probably welcome
a scheme which was compulsory upon all food handlers as the
present voluntary scheme is only practicable in selected areas.
It is needed everywhere.
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. 212 bodies were
taken to this Mortuary and post-mortem examinations were carried
out in every case.
The need for arrangements for the provision of mortuary
accommodation to be made in Ealing is constantly before the
Public Health Committee who are endeavouring to find a satisfactory
scheme.
