Mr. H. Hoyland took up his dutes as Housing
Inspector in succession to Mr. Rowbotham on 6th
January, 1930, but resigned his appointment as from
30th April, 1930 having been appointed an Inspector
under the Chelsea Borough Council.
After this last resignation Mr. E. Sapliier was
appointed to act as temporary Housing Inspector until
October, 1930, when a permanent Inspector, Mr. H.
Hutchinson, was appointed and took up his duties at
the end of the year.
Mr. S.Stocking, temporary junior clerk, having
secured an appointment in the Electricity Department
of the Council, resigned as from 24th March and Mr.
W. Swinson was appointed to his position.
In July, 1930, I reported to the Public Health
Committee upon the reorganisation of the work of the
Sanitary Inspectors, and the Council decided to appoint
a Grade 'A' clerk to assist them in the clerical work,
thus giving them more time for outside duties. Mr. J.
Dant was appointed to this post and commenced his
duties on 6th October, 1930.
As mentioned in my Annual Report for last year,
the Council assumed complete control of the work of
the Maternity and Child Welfare Centres as from 1st
April, 1930. This necessitated the appointment of an
additional Health Visitor in place of the Superintendent
of the Centres, who retired, and the appointment of a
clerk in the place of the Assistant Superintendent, who
also retired. These new posts were tilled by the appointment
of Miss P. Kaye who commenced duty on 10th
June as Health Visitor and of Miss A. Drury who
commenced her clerical duties on 1st April.
In August, 1930, Miss M. A. Shepherd, Tuberculosis
Visitor resigned her appointment, as she had
secured an appointment in Essex. Miss E. E. Walker
was appointed to the position and commenced duty in
September.
