4. VERMINOUS CONDITIONS. Only 1 case, an adult,
was 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. Plans were prepared during the year by
the Borough Engineer and Surveyor for the erection of a new
Mortuary. Work was commenced in due course and the new building
will be brought into operation in 1959.
In the meantime the Harrow Corporation have permitted their
Mortuary to be used for the reception of cases from Wembley which
in 1958 amounted to 142 bodies.
