Health who only gives a portion of his time,
and a Sanitary Inspector, who holds several other
appointments. This places the staff in a worse
position than any of the neighbouring districts. In
none of them does the Medical Officer give the
whole of his time,, but in each the number of
Inspectors is greater. In Wimbledon there are
two, in Richmond there are three, whilst in Surbiton,
with less than half our population, there is one. It
may be argued that these places are better off than
Kingston (though actual money spent in this respect
is in each case less than in Kingston), which is comparatively
a poor place, but then it is notorious that
the poorer the population the greater the amount of
work for the Sanitary Staff.
My best thanks are due to the Chairman and
Members of the Sanitary Committee who have
supported me in the suggestions and reports I have
laid before them.
