The Medical Officer of Health, in reporting his proceedings
and advice, should put on record whether he has made systematic
inspections of his district. By "systematic inspections" are
meant inspections independent of such inquiries as the Medical
Officer of Health may have to make into particular outbreaks of
disease, or into unwholesome conditions to which his attention
has been especially called by complaints or otherwise, and such
inspections will include house-to-house inspections which may be
necessary in particular localities.
The report should deal with the extent, distribution, and
causes of disease, especially of epidemic and notifiable diseases,
within the district; and should give an account of any noteworthy
outbreaks of such diseases during the year under review, stating
the result of his investigations into their origin and propagation,
and the steps taken by him, or on his advice, with a view to check
their spread.
