Food Poisoning.βThe Public Health (London) Act, 1936, requires every medical practitioner in London to notify to the Medical Officer of Health every person whom he suspects or finds to be suffering from food poisoning. In his certificate he must state the name, age and sex of the person, the full postal address, and particulars of the food poisoning from which the person is suffering or suspected to be suffering. 82 The total number of notifications received was 97, 58 of which related to an outbreak in a hostel. In other instances 39 persons were involved. The age and sex distribution of the cases notified is shown in the following Table, No. 33:β TABLE No. 33. Cases of Food Poisoning Notified during 1936. Age Periods. Male. |

In twelve households the food under suspicion was meat ; in eleven it was fish, and in four other instances, it was other foods, while in seven instances no particular food was regarded as the cause. Most of the cases were slight in character, and one only was admitted to hospital. Some cases were investigated bacteriologically (a) Two adult women, aged 43, ate some slices of cooked meat early one afternoon. |
939313cd-1fcf-41b0-a519-efeb5405cb6e | After eight hours both were suffering from diarrhoea and faintness. The illness was not notified for three days, and then a specimen of the cooked meat was obtained. The bacteriologist reported as follows:β "The odour of the specimen was extremely objectionable. The fat of the meat appeared to be undergoing liquefaction. Gram Films were prepared by taking portions of the material and shaking them up with sterile water. These showed large masses of bacteria of mixed type, gram positive and gram negative. Cultures were prepared from the fat and lean portions of the meat, aerobically and anaerobically with and without the addition of brilliant green. The cultures obtained were profuse in all cases; these were sub-cultured on to agar plates. |
43fe2486-dc43-43b3-86a6-ae72bc0fce98 | The cultures yielded a copious growth of: (a) Bacillus Coli; (b) Diphtheroids ; (c) Pneumococci, 83 (d) Streptococci; (e) Bacillus Proteus. The identification of other organisms was not practicable owing to the difficulties associated with the presence of the 'Swarmer' bacillus proteus. The fact, however, that such organisms as bacillus coli and pneumococci were identified as being present in such very large numbers makes it quite possible that a definite pathological entity may also have been present. The cultures, as obtained, make it certain that these specimens were bad and not fit for human consumption, and the facts would appear to show that contamination either by animal or human means has been severe." (b) Three adults had pork sausages for lunch about 1 p.m. About midnight all three were suffering from diarrhoea and vomiting. |
9382d0be-ecb7-4120-a1dc-a10c5200fe04 | One sausage was examined by the bacteriologist who reported as follows:β "Portions of the skin and contents were each cultured. The cultures were aerobic and anaerobic and also with brilliant green as a restrainer. A profuse growth resulted from all methods of culture. Those from the aerobic and brilliant green were sub-cultivated on to plates and yielded a growth of : (a) Pneumococci; (b) Bacillus subtilis; (c) Coliform baccilli. The anaerobic culture did not appear to yield any definite organisms than those found with aerobic. The brilliant green culture in addition showed the presence of a non-lactose fermenting form of coliform bacillus. The latter organism was put up on carbohydrate media and at the commencement only fermented glucose, it was also sluggishly motile. |
421ff03c-e065-4316-a71d-36655f06915b | Agglutination tests were made in an attempt to identify this organism, the emulsions used being those of Bacillus Dysenteriae (Shiga and Sonne), Typhoid and Salmonella group. No agglutination of any kind occurred as a result of these tests. Through leaving the carbohydrate test for a further period acid production occurred in lactose and mannite in addition to glucose, but without any gas formation. These findings indicate that the organism was bacillus coli anaerogenes. The organisms thus identified as being present both in the skin and the interior of the sausage were: (a) Pneumococci; (b) Bacillus subtilis; (c) Bacillus coli ; (d) Bacillus coli anaerogenes. None of these organisms identified should normally be pathogenic. |
45a023c4-7364-48f1-a389-7e3028bfcba2 | The fact that so many were obtained and the large numbers present of each, indicate that: (1) Contamination must have occurred, and (2) that the cooking was probably insufficient." (c) A man aged 27 was diagnosed as suffering from Enteritis, but later was formally notified as suffering from food poisoning. After bacteriological examination of a stool had been made the bacteriologist reported as follows:β "Rather a liquid stool. Direct cultures yielded a growth of: (a) Bacillus Coli; (b) Streptococcus Faecalis. Cultures using brilliant green as a restrainer, yielded a growth of: (a) Bacillus Coli; (b) Non-lactose fermenting coliform bacillus. 84 Two colonies of the latter type of organism were examined and were found to be aberrant coliform bacilli. |
63def3d5-c4fd-4785-9dfd-13a1078df3ed | The original brilliant green cultures were then re-examined and a further non-lactose fermenting organism was tested, and as a result of chemical and serological tests has been proved to be Bacillus Newport. This organism is one of the salmonella (food poisoning) group and usually obtains access to humans as a result of eating pork." (d) In October, from a hostel, fifty-eight cases of food poisoning were notified within a few days. The outbreak was investigated by officers of the London County Council, and it is understood that a coliform organism was found which might account for the outbreak. In this connection it is interesting to recall that when a similar outbreak at this hostel was investigated by me last year a haemolytic coliform organism was regarded as the cause on that occasion. Other cases of food poisoning which were not notified came to the notice of the department. (1) In May, two adults had macaroni pudding for dinner. |
7f26fff9-af8d-48b6-8172-c1595971691d | A few hours afterwards they became ill with stomach pain, diarrhoea and vomiting. The pudding was bacteriologically examined and the bacteriologist reported as under :β "The macaroni pudding yielded a growth of: (a) Pneumococci; (b) Bacillus Subtilis ; (c) Coliform Bacillus. Pneumococci predominated. In the macaroni pudding, organisms were found which were also identified as being present in the milk received, and the macaroni. This finding tends to show that the cooking of the article must have been inadequate. The finding of Coliform Bacillus indicates that contamination occurred either before, or subsequent to cooking. None of the organisms identified is of such a character as normally to cause intestinal upset, excepting the Coliform Bacillus. |
5e74d6e4-ed97-47bc-8dcf-909fb49a80a6 | This organism may be of a type which might give rise to the symptoms complained of by the individuals who partook of the pudding, but this particular organism has not been identified as being originally present in the material from which the pudding was prepared. In these circumstances, therefore, it would seem that the only possible explanation of the occurrence is that this Coliform organism obtained access to the pudding during, or after, preparation, and thus caused the contamination and affected the individuals who became ill." (2) In September a young child was taken ill with acute diarrhoea and vomiting. Some days later, when she had recovered, her father came to the conclusion that she was poisoned by some cheap sweets, and brought a sample with him to the office. An investigation was made and the Bacillus Aertrycke was recovered from the child's stools on two occasions. Bacteriological examination was then made of the sweets, but the organism was not recovered from them. |
07a5c68c-6379-4b20-a371-1f0117de278c | (3) At the beginning of November thirty members of a local Sports Club took a simple tea together, consisting of bread, butter, cheese, ham sandwiches and 85 tea. Within the course of 48 hours, fourteen of them were suffering from sickness and diarrhoea. Subsequent enquiries showed that the attendant who prepared the meal suffered from diarrhoea the previous day, but had apparently recovered that morning. No bacteriological investigation was made. Public Analystβ-Alteration in Terms of Appointment.βThe Public Analyst was appointed in 1932 at a salary of Β£300 per annum for 500 samples, with a payment of 10s. 6d. for each sample taken in excess of that number. In March, the Council decided that from the 1st April the minimum number of samples to be analysed each year should be increased to 800 and a salary of Β£500 per annum paid, with a payment of 10s. 6d. |

Nutrition.βDissemination of knowledge and instruction on matters affecting nutrition is part of the Council's general scheme of health propaganda, q.v. As part of the Council's scheme for Health Propaganda, cookery demonstration classes are held at the Tuberculosis Dispensary for the instruction of the wives and mothers of the tuberculous in the buying and cooking of simple, cheap and nutritious articles of food and the preparation of suitable dishes. These classes were well attended during 1936. The scheme is more fully reported on in the Health Propaganda Section. |
b1fa2581-45b3-4daa-8af2-b13f3a970ad4 | By-Laws for the Protection of Food.βThe County Council at their meeting on the 28th July, 1936, made By-laws for promoting sanitary and cleanly conditions in the manufacture, preparation, storage, transport, or exposure for sale of any article intended to be sold for food. The By-laws slightly modified were confirmed by the Minister of Health and they came into operation on the 1st day of January, 1937. 86 SECTION VI. HOUSING. The following Table shows the main housing figures for the year set out under the headings given in Circular 1561 issued by the Ministry of Health for securing uniformity in the presentation of these statistics.

Overcrowding.βThe overcrowding provisions of the Housing Act did not take effect until the 1st January, 1937, and it is impossible to furnish a normal return under the heading "Overcrowding" above. |
045571b5-93bb-46e4-b97b-f9c58b84fdb6 | In the second half of 1935, a survey of housing in the Borough revealed that there were then 683 families living under overcrowded conditions according to the standards laid down in the Housing Act. In the latter half of 1936 to enable "permitted numbers" to be supplied to landlords there was a more detailed survey from which overcrowded houses already measured were excluded. Two hundred and sixty one new cases of overcrowding were discovered, but in order to ascertain what the position was with regard to the first 683, a special inspection was made of all these families in the first quarter of 1937. It was found that 414 of those cases were no longer overcrowded. Overcrowding had been reduced in various ways, without any organised effort on the part of the authorities. It was found that seventy-nine families had become sufficiently reduced in number, either through persons leaving to get married and taking up house on their own, or through death. |
9bf16ea6-7521-4f2d-b666-2206a322a74d | Additional accommodation for overcrowded families was found by re-arrangement of lettings in the same houses in seventy-nine instances. In twelve cases where the "permitted number" was wrong, a correction showed that there was no overcrowding. Fifty-four families were re-housed by the Woolwich Borough Council, either as part of their general housing policy, or through slum clearance. Three were re-housed by the London County Council as part of their abatement of overcrowding policy. Twenty-two were dealt with in other ways. One hundred and sixty five families had removed to other unknown addresses. This experience would seem to indicate that there is normally a large amount of movement amongst overcrowded families, and certainly foreshadows the difficulties which the future holds in the detection and elimination of overcrowding. It cannot be assumed that the 165 families whose present addresses are unknown are not living in overcrowded conditions. |
f9c56152-7d1d-409b-99a6-3de393c46f07 | Investigations are proceeding to ascertain whether any of them are amongst the 261 new cases of overcrowding. Estimate of new houses required.βIn the latter half of 1935 a survey of all working class houses in the Borough was carried out, and 683 houses were found to be overcrowded within the meaning of the Housing Act, 1935. The London County Council as the Authority responsible for the provision of new houses required to abate overcrowding in the Metropolis, early in the year asked that Borough Councils should estimate their requirements on a uniform basis which they submitted. The process of calculation, which took into account such accommodation as was found to be vacant during the course of the survey, the amount 89 of accommodation rendered vacant by the transfer of families, and the number of families for whom accommodation had to be provided on account of slum clearance schemes, gave the following results for Woolwich:β TABLE No. 35. |
2a8ef32c-abeb-4735-ae57-e74dc1dbbfe8 | Additional Dwellings required on the Standard of Table I. in the First Schedule to the 1935 Act. Additional Dwellings required on the standard of 1Β½ persons a room. Size. Number. 3 rooms. 4 rooms. 5 rooms. 6 rooms. 7 rooms. 8 rooms. |

The London County Council were so informed in July, 1936. Accommodation for this purpose will be ready about March, 1937, on sites at Bellingham, Mottingham, Park Lane, Charlton, and Whitefoot Lane, Lewisham. |
08c97c6c-4d15-42d1-b8d6-1075a6dda592 | Fixing of appointed days.βIn order to bring into operation the overcrowding provisions of the Housing Act of 1935, it was necessary for the Minister of Health to fix appointed days for different purposes and for different localities. The Minister fixed, so far as Woolwich was concerned, the 1st July, 1936, as the appointed day under Section 6 of the Act and the 1st January, 1937, as the appointed day under Sections 3, 4, 8 and 68. The effect of fixing such days meant that on the 1st January, 1937, the notice prescribed by the Act as to "permitted numbers," etc., must be inserted in every rent book, that after that date overcrowding might constitute an offence, and that certain housing by-laws ceased to have effect. The fixing of appointed days added considerably to the work of the department. |
f15d08e0-0366-482c-abba-f7b34d9a488f | It became necessary to measure the rooms of all working class houses, and the Ministry of Health, in a Circular, pointed out that it would be more advantageous to undertake systematic measurement of the bulk, if not all, of the working class houses 90 in their area, than to delay measuring until the owner asked for the information. As this work had to be completed within less than six months, it became necessary to appoint temporary staff for this purpose. The estimated number of "dwellings" in the Borough is in round figures, 40,000. After deducting from this total (a) the number of owner-occupied houses, approximately 12,500; (6) the number of dwellings measured the previous year 3,400; and (c) the number of Council houses for which plans are available, 3,600; it was estimated that some 20,000 "dwellings" would require to be measured. |
77670228-1586-468b-a088-5e8bdbde0c82 | It was subsequently found necessary to measure a proportion of the owner-occupied houses which had been sub-let. In dealing with this problem the Council took the view that the primary responsibility for the correct measuring of rooms in each district should rest on the district sanitary inspector, that he should be supplied with such temporary assistance as was necessary, in order that the work might be completed within the specified period, and that such clerical work as could be done in the office should be under the immediate supervision of a senior clerk. To enable the district inspectors to concentrate on this work and to free them from routine duties, three temporary sanitary inspectors were appointed, and these were responsible for the districts of the inspectors supervising the measuring of rooms. Each district inspector was on an average off his district for two months. The other staff engaged included six temporary survey assistants, nine temporary assistants to these and to the inspectors ; and four temporary clerks. |
b4a34221-b1ed-4699-84ef-e6fb08c6ea77 | A measuring unit consisted of one regular district inspector, two survey assistants, three assistants, and one clerk. Three such units were employed for the period. In this way the inspector could supervise the work of his team and they could consult him at once on any difficulties they encountered. Clerks started preparing the necessary cards on the 13th July, 1936, the measuring units began work on the 4th August, and except for clearing up, which was considerable, and the measuring of the sub-let owner-occupied houses, the work of measuring was completed at the end of the year. The number of " permitted number " notices supplied to landlords was 15,651. A certain amount of information is given in the statutory notice which must be inserted in rent books, but this notice could not by its very nature deal with difficult points which may arise. To overcome any misunderstanding, a pamphlet was prepared covering the chief points of the overcrowding code and explaining fully points on which difficulty might arise. |
14956c86-3476-4333-bd3c-1cfa53bc12f1 | One of these pamphlets was enclosed with each notice to the occupier of intention to measure, and with each series of " permitted number " notices to owners and agents. 91 Inspection of Houses.βThe systematic inspection of houses in the district in accordance with the provisions of the Housing (Consolidated) Regulations, 1925, was carried on during the year and 384 houses were so surveyed. These figures are less than the average yearly number, owing to the demands referred to above, on the time of the sanitary inspectors. TABLE No. 36. Action under the Housing Acts. Premises.

6dd81afd-44ed-4a52-ba63-2c390cb9d2dd | 1st July 97, Brookhill Road Representation 2nd December There was an appeal against a notice served by the Council under Section 17 of the Housing Act, 1930, relating to the house, No. 15, The Grove, Eltham, which I had represented as being unfit for human habitation. It was capable of being rendered fit at a reasonable cost, and the Council resolved to serve a notice under Section 17. This notice was served on the 1st August, 1935, and notice of appeal to the County Court was given on the 21st August of that year. The case was set down for hearing at the County Court on the 20th November, 1935. There were several hearings and adjournments, and it was not until 8th July, 1936, that the County Court Judge gave his decision. |
39559eae-5852-421b-8039-27199a47ba69 | He held that although the Borough Council were justified in serving the notice under Section 17, the works required by the notice to be executed were unreasonable and that the appellant was aggrieved by the action of the Borough Council. He allowed the appeal and ordered the Borough Council to pay two thirds of the costs of the appellant. It became necessary to agree an amended specification of the works to be done, and it was decided to include this amended specification in the Order. There was a further delay in this connection, and it was not until 23rd December that the draft Order embodying this amended specification was settled by the Registrar of the County Court and so at the end of 1936 the work of repair had not been completed. Clearance Aears.βDuring the year, the Council's programme was advanced. |

In London, the London County Council maintain institutions for the isolation and treatment of the sick suffering from infectious diseases. Cases from Woolwich are usually admitted to the Brook Hospital, Greenwich, or to the Park Hospital, Lewisham, but during times of pressure cases are sent to Joyce Green Hospital, Dartford, or indeed, to any of the fever hospitals belonging to the London County Council in the County of London. |

The total number of notifications, excluding cases of tuberculosis, which are dealt with later in this Section, was 1,254, compared with 1,363 in 1935.

f9fdbe82-6d8b-41f0-827f-bf09bd5aa4b3 | Deaths.βThere were 7 deaths from Diphtheria, compared with 13 in 1935 and 11 in 1934. Three of these were of children under five years of age and four were of school children. 108 Antitoxin.βA supply of Diphtheria Antitoxin is kept at the Town Hall, the Plumstead Library and the Eltham Library, and is available for medical practitioners on application, at cost price, or free, where there is inability to pay. The amount supplied during the year was 52,000 units. The total cost to the Council was Β£2 10s. 0d., all of which was recovered. Immunisation.βIn 1934, the Council, with the co-operation of the local medical profession started a scheme for the immunisation of children against diphtheria. |
0fdc0511-ab73-4eff-8598-a3c54ff56949 | The scheme is one in which immunisation is carried out by general practitioners and it was set out in full in my Annual Report for 1934. Slight modifications which are referred to in my Annual Report for 1935 were made during that year. During 1936, 676 children were immunised and a further 48 were found not to require immunisation. Since the scheme started in November, 1934, 1,811 children in all have been immunised. In order to ascertain whether a child is susceptible to diphtheria or not, use is made of the Schick test. This may be done before immunisation ; but it must be carried out after immunisation in order to ascertain whether the desired result has been obtained. Schick testing clinics have been held periodically as often as was necessary. The figures for the year follow. |
30516a81-2258-4451-9313-f3e054f39fc6 | Before a course of immunisation, 130 children were found to be Schick positive and 48 Schick negative ; after immunisation, including children immunised in 1935, 510 were found to be negative and 24 positive ; 12 children failed to attend. The remaining children were waiting until the requisite time had passed to enable immunity to be developed. The total amount of fees paid to general practioners for immunisation during the year was Β£327 17s. 6d. The other costs amounted to Β£66 1s. 7d. Scarlet Fever. Notification.βDuring the year 609 cases were notified compared with 634 in 1935 and 989 in 1934. There were 18 military cases. The number of notifications received each quarter was as follows :β First quarter 182 Second quarter 144 Third quarter 125 Fourth quarter 158 Multiple Cases.βThe following Table No. 45 shows the house distribution by wards. |

Home Isolation.βTwenty-eight cases, or 4.6 per cent., were isolated at home and in no instance did a return case occur. |
db78ec2b-f69a-4c3a-9c41-ac2dca9ed006 | Frequent visits are made by the district sanitary inspectors to a case isolated at home in order to ensure that proper precautions are being taken to prevent the spread of the disease. Employees of the Royal Arsenal are not allowed to remain at work unless cases are removed to hospital, or a certificate of efficient home isolation is issued by the Medical Officer of Health. No such certificates were issued during the year. 1ll Puerperal Fever and Puerperal Pyrexia. Twenty-eight cases were notified compared with 45 in 1935 and 35 in 1934. In 23 instances notification was in respect of puerperal pyrexia, but in at least three of these, notification should have been puerperal fever. In one instance the disease was a sequel to abortion. All except one case received hospital treatment. Deaths.βThere were two deaths from puerperal fever compared with one in 1935 and two in 1934. Enteric Fever. |
8e767e2d-809f-4d2c-b263-7c2c10b7d588 | Twelve cases were notified, eleven of whom were treated in hospital. There was one death. The following Table No. 47 gives details of each case notified.
