INFECTIOUS DISEASES AND SCHOOLS
In accordance with the requirements of the School Management code of the
London County Council, information is received from the Head Teachers concerning
children excluded from school by reason of the fact that they are suffering from
infectious disease or reside in houses in which infectious disease exists.
FACTORY AND WORKSHOP ACT
It was not found necessary to serve any notice under Sections 108 or 110 of the
Factory and Workshop Act, 1901. These sections relate to infection in the homes
of outworkers. Where it was considered that there was any risk of infection the
work was temporarily discontinued and the premises were disinfected.
