Disinfection.
In connection with cases of infectious disease, 175 rooms and 205
library books were fumigated. Sixty-one lots of bedding were steam
disinfected and one lot destroyed.
Vermin Control.
Persons.
For the cleansing of verminous persons and their personal clothing
the Council have established a Cleansing Station, equipped with a
Thresh Steam Disinfector in Rochester Road. A trained nurse is in
attendance to deal with women and children, and a male operator for
the men.
Financial arrangements have been made with the Education
Authority for the treatment of school children. The nurse-in-charge
undertakes the following up of the families affected to ensure that
treatment is carried to a successful conclusion. The homes are also
visited by the Sanitary Inspectors when necessary, and appropriate
action in respect of the premises taken as required.
