It is surprising to see that only eight applications were made
for the issue of Certificates of Disrepair under the provisions of
the Act.
The resumption of private slaughtering and the supervision
of the slaughterhouses placed an obligation on the Council to
carry out the inspection of meat. As mentioned in the body of
the Report, whereas only one visit to slaughterhouses was made in
1953, 309 visits were made in 1954. This work was done by the
Sanitary Inspectors and the appointment of an extra Inspector
enabled the increased volume of work to be dealt with.
I am,
Your obedient Servant,
A. W. HAY,
Medical Officer of Health.
