MASS RADIOGRAPHY
Arrangements were made with the North-East Metropolitan
Regional Hospital Board for another visit by the Mass X-Ray Unit.
Previous visits had not only shown the usefulness of the work
undertaken by the Unit, but also the encouraging response by
Enfield residents to the facility provided.
Through co-operation between the Health Department and
the Unit, arrangements were made for the Unit to commence
operation at the Wesleyan Church Hall, Church Street, on 9th
October, 1952. Owing to the greater mobility of the present Unit,
facilities were also provided at the Wesleyan Church Hall, High
Street, Ponders End, St. George's Church Hall, Hertford Road,
and many industrial and other premises throughout the district.
The visit continued well into 1953 and the final results of the survey
are not yet known, although 16,900 persons were examined, compared
with 7,789 in 1946 and 9,453 in 1949.
PREVENTION OF DAMAGE BY PESTS ACT, 1949.
During the year a Rodent Investigating Officer and four
operators were engaged on control of rat infestation at dwellinghouses
and other premises and of the sewers in the district.
