child welfare, immunisation and school health services in clinic
buildings, church halls, schools and the mobile clinic
During the year a new clinic was opened in Northolt adjoining
the boundary with this district. Ey arrangement between the
Area Medical Officers concerned, one Child Welfare session
weekly is held especially for the benefit of Hayes residents.
Medical Examinations of Council Employees.
The total number of examinations carried out during 1960
was 148. Of these 41 were for superannuation purposes alone,
27 for admission to the Council's Sick Pay Scheme, 38 for Sick
Pay and Superannuation and 42 for various special purposes.
Water Supply.
Water is supplied to the district by the Rickmansworth and
Uxbridge Valley Water Company and the South West Suburban District
Water Company. The supply is adequate and samples taken
during the year have reached a satisfactory standard.
The water in this district is hard and does not have a
plumbo-solvent action; its natural fluoride content is low.
There are no dwellings supplied by standpipes, but there
are approximately 130 caravans in the district and these draw
their water from standpipes on the various sites. Samples from
these pipes have been satisfactory.
One house in the district is still supplied by a well.
Samples from this have been variable, and the occupants have
been advised to boil all drinking water. There appears to be
no prospect of connecting a mains supply to this house in the
immediate future.
Establishments for Massage and Special Treatment.
There are now seven establishments registered under the
Middlesex County Council Act, 1944, six of these are for chiropody
and one for physiotherapy and all are of a satisfactory
standard.
