FACTORY AND WORKSHOP ACT.
The number of inspections of bakehouses, workshops, factories,
etc., is included in your Medical Officer's report as required by the
Factory and Workshop Act, 1901.
Herewith I append the statement of work done, under its various
headings, in the form required by the Medical Officer of Health
for the County Council of Middlesex.
PROPOSED NEW GENERAL OFFICE, &c.
I trust the Council with be able to give me the increased general
office accommodation as speedily as possible, as under the present
conditions the work is much hampered.
I also hope the private telephonic communication to Enfield
Hospital will soon be in evidence, as it is most important that we
should get the daily bulletin of the patients as early as possible
every morning, and to let the Matron know of cases of infectious
disease being sent into hospital. On Sundays we have no possible
communication other than to walk, or go by bicycle, to inform the
Superintendent of a patient being sent to hospital.
I am pleased to say that my assistants continue to perform their
duties with tact and efficiency.
In bringing this report to a conclusion, I desire to express my
thanks for the support I have received from my Committee and the
Council
I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
RICHARD JOHN BUTLAND,
Inspector of Nuisances.
