4. VERMINOUS CONDITIONS. Only 2 cases, both adults,
were referred to Kensington Medicinal Baths for treatment more
intensive than could be given at the Clinics or in the homes. The
generalisation remains true that infestation is scarcely a Public Health
problem in Wembley. The response of the mothers to the advice
given through the School Health Services is most gratifying.
5. MORTUARY. The public mortuary which was built a
good many years ago at a time when the population was under 20,000,
has continued to meet the needs of the district. That this has been
possible is partly due to the provision in recent years of a refrigerated
chamber which has proved of inestimable benefit. Neverthless, the
time cannot be too far off when a new mortuary planned on presentday
standards of lay-out and equipment will be a necessity.
162 bodies were deposited in the mortuary during the year, the
majority of which were on orders from the Coroner so that postmortem
examinations could be made.
