Rehousing,
Certification of unfitness of war damaged houses to facilitate
using and billeting of displaced persons and for other official
resulted in considerable work for the Inspectors.
Other Emergency Duties.
Enforcement of Food Control Orders and Defence Regulations
continued as part of the duties of certain of the inspectors.
The Report upon the more routine work of the Section follows.
Consequent upon raid damage the emergency work of repair of housing
and sanitary circumstances has demanded priority and it is
unfortunate that statistical data must for obvious reasons be
excluded from this report. The subjoined statements therefore
relate only to normal sanitary work and exclude special housing
emergency work. It is to be regretted that owing to staff depletion
and other reasons much of the systematic sanitary inspection had to
be curtailed.
