2nd.—A new officer should be appointed for the district thus
vacated.
3rd.—The Inspectors of the other districts should confine themselves
to sanitary work and perform no duties under the Food and Drugs'
Acts, and do no disinfections.
4th.—A Clerk should be appointed to attend at the office all day, who
should keep the books, make out notices, receive complaints, and perform
such other duties as may be required.
5th.—The three District Inspectors and the Clerk should be placed
under the orders of your Medical Officer of Health; to perform
such duties as he may direct, and report to him daily.
Your Medical Officer would thus be head of his department and
solely responsible to the Sanitary Committee for the condition of the
parish, and for the manner in which the Inspectors perform their duties.
If some such system as this were adopted, an enormous amount of
work could be got through. Each Inspector would have his day's
duty laid down for him, and would not beliable to be called away, and
would not be required, as now, to spend half his time in making out
and copying notices.
I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
Your most obedient Servant,
GEORGE PADDOCK BATE,
Medical Officer of Health for St. Matthew, Bethnal Green.
November, 1883.
