It will be noticed from the statistical reports that the work of
the Public Health Department has greatly increased during the year,
notably in the way of supervision of foodshops, restaurants and food
vehicles and the education of food handlers in the principles of the
hygienic handling of foodstuffs.
Particular attention has been paid to the cleanliness of milk,
water and ice creams as well as to the open-air Lido at Ruislip. In all
other cases the reports have been, with few exceptions, satisfactory.
The chief anxiety has been with regard to the grading of ice cream,
but it is hoped that by careful supervision and education of purveyors,
noticeable improvement will occur during the next year.
The work of the Department has continued smoothly but vigorously
throughout the year, thanks to the untiring efforts of the Sanitary,
Rodent and Clerical personnel, to whom I acknowledge my sincere
gratitude for their helpful co-operation.
I am,
Your obedient Servant,
L. D. BAILEY,
Medical Officer of Health.
