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 1968,
61 local residents and 4 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.
