ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH
STAFF POSITION
The new structure for the Public Health Inspectorate
referred to in last year's report was getting nicely under way
during 1971 when a Senior Public Health Inspector and a District
Public Health Inspector were both stricken with serious illness
(mid-year) and had not returned to duty at the end of the year.
Another District Public Health Inspector was also admitted to
hospital for an operation during this period, so these features —
coupled with the resignation of a District Public Health Inspector
in the middle of November — caused a serious setback to the
routine work of the Section.
A Shops and Offices Inspector also resigned at the end of
February and his replacement commenced duties at the end of
June, 1971.
The vacancy which existed at the beginning of the year for
a Student Public Health Inspector was filled in August in time for
this Student to start his first year's training at Tottenham Technical
College (a 3 year course).
The appointment in November of the previous year of a
third Pest Officer/General Assistant has proved to be an important
factor in the improved pest service which we have now been
able to provide to the public.
On 31st December 1971 the Environmental Health Inspectorate
consisted of:-
1 Chief Public Health Inspector
1 Deputy Chief Public Health Inspector
3 Senior Public Health Inspectors
1 Senior Shops & Offices Inspector
1 Food Inspector
9 District Public Health Inspectors (one vacancy)
2 Shops & Offices Inspectors
2 Authorised Meat Inspectors
3 Pest Control Officers/General Assistants
3 Pupil Public Health Inspectors
