The outdoor staff of the Health Department consists
normally of one Chief Inspector and three District
Inspectors.
During the War, two of the District Inspectors joined
the Army and the third left to take up a position
elsewhere, whilst the Chief Inspector carried on as
best he could. Upon their discharge from the Army
the tvvo District Inspectors resumed duty, but sanction
to till the vacancy for a third Inspector has not been
granted by the Council, notwithstanding representations
made by the Health Committee.
There is no officer appointed wholly for housing duties,
which are carried out by the above staff in conjunction
with their other duties.
