PUBLIC HEALTH (INFECTIOUS DISEASES) REGULATIONS. 1955.
One person was required under the above Regulations to
suspend her employment as a food handler for a period of ten days
with a view to preventing the risk of spreading a food-borne infection,
namely Salmonella typhimurium. A claim for compensation amounting to
£3.4„2d.t was met by the Council.
SECTION 47, NATIONAL ASSISTANCE ACT, 1948, AND NATIONAL
ASSISTANCE (AMENDMENT) ACT. 1951.
Seven persons in possible need of care and attention were
brought to the notice of this Department during the year. These cases
were Jm^stlgated and, together with the one outstanding from last
year, were kept under observation by the appropriate Department.
In conclusion, I would again like to record my appreciation
to the Chairman and Members of the Public Health Committee for their
help and co-operation during the year, and to the staff of the
Department for their continued enthusiasm and loyalty. For the
statistical information which the Area Health and Divisional
