Every case of Infectious disease notified to me is
reported to the Sauitary Inspector, who visits and
reports to me in all cases which I do not personally
investigate, and who also supplies disinfectants, sees to
the patient's removal to the Isolation Hospital, when
such a course is adopted, and disinfects the premises,
bedding, clothing, &c.
At the end of the year the district was in a healthy
condition, few cases of Infectious disease having been
notified.
Periodical inspections of the various parts of the
district have been made, a few samples of drinking
water, whose purity was suspected, have been analysed
by mo, and when found to be impure the South Essex
Company's water has been laid on. Insanitary conditions
have in certain instances been remedied by the intervention
of the Sanitary Inspector.
