SECTION B.
GENERAL PROVISION OF HEALTH SERVICES FOR
THE AREA.
No alteration has been made in the health services of
this area during 1933.
PUBLIC HEALTH OFFICERS OF THE
LOCAL AUTHORITY.
The Staff of the Public Health Department consists
of one part-time Medical Officer and two Sanitary Inspectors,
the Chief Sanitary Inspector being also the Inspector under
the Petroleum Acts. The Chief Sanitary Inspector holds the
special Meat and Food Inspector's Certificate of the Royal
Sanitary Institute, and the other Officer has also passed
an examination in meat inspection.

Hospitals.—Hospital accommodation in this area is
adequate. The Urban District Council contributes the

and the Harlington Cottage Hospital, the contributions

with Harlington.
There has been no change in nursing arrangements,
