With regard to disinfestation, slipper baths are provided at the
Disinfecting Station, and persons in a verminous condition are bathed
there while their clothing and bedding are disinfected by steam.

During the period that the Prince of Wales's Hospital has been
in the hands of the builders the disinfector has been used for their
purposes, and I am gratified to state that in this particular the Council
have been of very great assistance to the hospital authorities.

each of the visits.
