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 gas water heating unit. The premises are maintained and staffed
by the Health Department. During 1972, 29 local residents received
treatment at the Cleansing Station. A fee of £1.50 is payable by outside
authorities for each person sent by them for treatment.
