FOOD POISONING.
Section 7 of the London County Council (General Powers) Act,
1932, requires any medical practitioner attending on any person,
if he suspects or becomes aware that such person is suffering from
food poisoning, to notify the Medical Officer of Health and to give
particulars of the food poisoning from which such person is
suspected to be suffering.
Thirty-four notifications were received during the year and
careful investigation was made in each case. In only one instance
did the patient suffer more than temporary indisposition. This
patient was treated in hospital and recovered.
