4. VERMINOUS CONDITIONS. Only 3 cases, 2 adults
and 1 child were referred to a Health Centre for treatment more
intensive than could be given in the home. 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 Mortuary which was closed in 1955
has not yet been replaced although plans have been prepared by the
Borough Engineer and Surveyor and discussions have taken place
with appropriate officers of the Ministry. The Government ban on
capital expenditure has, up to now, prevented the Corporation from
going ahead with its plans to erect a new Mortuary at the rear of
the Town Hall, but there are indications that the Corporation will be
able to make some progress in the near future.
In the meantime the Harrow Corporation have permitted their
Mortuary to be used for the reception of cases from Wembley which
in 1956 amounted to 160 bodies.
