4.0 p.m. Miss FitzGerald, and the Medical Officer of Health,
are in attendance during that time. The Consultation has
not been as well attended as could be desired probably
on account of the long distances which most mothers are
required to come. 460 infants attended last year. Further
particulars are given in Miss FitzGerald's Report.
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, but so far you have not seen fit to comply
with my request. Owing to the demand on Miss Middlebrooke's
time by visiting verminous houses, I was obliged
to transfer the inspection of registered houses to a male
inspector, viz:—Mr. Shaw.
The following is a summary of Miss Middlebrooke's
work for the twelve months:—
