MEDICAL OFFICER'S ANNUAL REPORT SHEET 19 OF DRAFT.
"Grade A" & "Pasteurised" Four grades of Milk are to say the least
somewhat confusing to the general public, and I would suggest a
numerical index "certified" Grade A. T.T. being No.l. There are no
less than three licensing authorities viz. the Minister of Health,
The County (3c County Borough) Councils and the Sanitary Authorities
(Urban 3c Rural). The functions of a Sanitary Authority are (1) to
license the distributors of the Graded Milks (2) to take samples to
of the Graded Milks as distributed in their respective districts and
submit them for bacteriological examination at an approved laboratory.
There have been only two supplementary licences issued by this Authority
one for "Certified" and one for "Pasteurised" milk, both to one firm
in an adjoining district which is in itself only a distributor of
"Certified" milk and the pasteurisers and bottlers of the "Pasteurised"
milk.
