Cleansing Station
One of the occasional but important duties of a local authority
is to ensure the disinfestation of verminous persons and their clothing.
A Cleansing Station is maintained at Aston Road, S.W.20, and the
equipment consists of two slipper baths with incidental rooms, a
Dodwell and Dunning electric disinfecting chamber for clothing and
a recently installed gas water heating unit. The premises are maintained
and staffed by the Health Department. During the year 1967,
34 local residents and 17 persons from other districts received treatment
for scabies or for lice infestation. A fee of 30s. is payable by
outside authorities for persons sent by them for treatment.
The independent space heating unit mentioned in the Annual
Report 1966 had not been installed by the end of 1967, but a gas unit
was fitted and in operation early in 1968.
