Staff
During the period under report the work of the department
suffered due to staff shortages. Of an establishment of
three additional sanitary inspectors, two of the posts were
vacant at the end of the year and this position continued into
1955 despite efforts to fill them. The department was without
a rodent operative for some time but that post was
eventually filled. In a small department such vacancies
inevitably break the continuity of some of the work to its
detriment.
I should like to take this opportunity of thanking the
Chairman and members of the Public Health Committee and
the Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Woods, for the consideration
shown to me, and the members of the staff for their
support in carrying out the work of the department.
FRANCIS V. BELL,
Chief Sanitary Inspector.
