Milk Sampling.
The 60 samples of milk taken from dairies, shops and in the streets
during the course of delivery to customers throughout the year were
submitted to the Laboratories for testing. In all cases satisfactory reports
were received.
In addition, 29 samples were submitted to the Public Analysts.
Liaison With Other Authorities.
Our excellent liaison with the London County Council in respect
of the Hornchurch Children's Homes and the Brentwood Group Hospital
Management Committee in respect of Harold Wood Hospital regarding
the testing of their milk supplies (noted in last year's report) continues.
School Canteens.
Our liaison with the Divisional Education Committee is now of a
most satisfactory order and my thanks are due to the Divisional Education
Officer, Mr. D. H. Wilcockson. B.A., M.Ed., for doing so much to
achieve this.
