Women Sanitary Inspectors' Work.
50. There are two Women Sanitary Inspectors, one of
whom is specially a Health Visitor. I have repeatedly urged
the desirability of appointing more women to do this important
work, and the closure of the Milk Depot makes the
need greater than ever. The Health Committee authorised
me to obtain the services of an unpaid Assistant Health
Visitor, and Miss Chappie was engaged in November.
The following is a summary of Miss Middlebrooke's work
