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
two District Inspectors resumed duty, but sanction to
fill 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.
