The Essex County Council has not provided or received any approval to provide an old people's hostel in the Borough. The Borough Council is building a second block of small flats comprising 4 One bedroom Flats 8 Double Bed/Sit Flats 12 Single Bed/Sit Flats at Westbury Road and Ripple Road corner now the site is cleared, similar to the popular Mayflower House accommodation but without County Council assistance. RENT ACT, 1957 When this Act became law some 2½ years ago there was the hope that substantial repairs would be carried out to the older property in the Borough. This has not been the result. There was an immediate response by owners where properties required repointing externally, but for other maintenance repairs tenants had to resort to the service of the statutory notices. |
c037d43a-c3af-40ec-b713-c6a2c5a70030 | The early rush for certificates of disrepair has faded out and our present figures appear to indicate that our annual rate of applications has been reached. The following gives details of action during the year:- Number of enquiries ("G" Forms issued) 22 Applications for Certificate of Disrepair 30 Undertakings received after a "Notice of Intention to serve a Certificate of Disrepair" 22 Certificates of Disrepair issued 14 Cancellation of Certificate of Disrepair (after work completed to satisfaction of tenant) 11 Certificate of Disrepair issued after owner had failed to comply with undertaking to occupier Page 46 A visit by a Public Health Inspector was made to the houses of 22 occupiers asking for "G" forms, to offer advice on their completion. Revisits are made after application for cancellation has been received from the owner. |
b892b6b8-46a2-40f8-9b10-5f37b911e467 | IMPROVEMENT GRANTS Housing Acts 1949/1957 It was to be expected that the rent increases allowed under the Rent Act 1957, together with the grants in aid for the improvement of sub-standard houses would have prevented the further deterioration of such houses. Although the Council continues to make grants, the applications received are from owner occupiers. Grants for the improvement of housing accommodation were approved in respect of six applications, the cost of the work amounting in the aggregate to £1,702. 2. 6d. Improvement Grants amounting to £976. 8. 9d were granted. The conclusion to be drawn from our experience in Barking is that owners of rented houses are unwilling to sink further money in the property unless by compulsion, or when vacant possession offers an opportunity for sale. HOUSE PURCHASE AND HOUSING ACT, 1959 On July 1st 1959 the House Purchase and Housing Act 1959 came into force. |
b3915cc7-4373-4c64-b036-754032856e37 | Previously the payment of grants had been at the will of the local authority. The new Act provided that where a house has a minimum "life" of 15 years, a grant shall be Paid equal to half the cost of certain standard amenities, subject to a maximum grant of £155. This new type of grant is known as a Standard Grant. Page 47 The standard amenities are:- (a) a fixed bath or shower in a bathroom; (b) a wash-hand basin; (c) a hot water supply; (d) a water closet in or contiguous to the dwelling; (e) satisfactory facilities for the storing of food. The discretionary grant which is still available allows a wider range of improvements with a maximum grant of £400, Since the Act came into force there have been 14 applications for standard grants, 12 of which were approved for works valued £1,340. There were also 11 applications during the year for discretionary grants relating to works valued at £4,192.17.3d. |
fd4b2094-ccbd-4e0e-aceb-5bb209d5c70a | Information re Local Land Charges etc. Information as to statutory orders in respect of dwelling houses and as to notices not complied with requiring works of repair was supplied in respect of 648 properties upon request for official search of the Land Charges Register. Because of slum clearance procedure there is an increasing number of inquiries as to the "future life" of properties in the Borough. Section C - FOOD SUPPLIES The regular Food and Drugs sampling carried out by your officers during the year has revealed that in the main our foodstuffs are of sound quality and within the statutory standards. Samples totalled 194 of which 22 were formal and 172 informal. The Public Analyst, Dr. J.H. Hamence reported that 9 samples were not genuine. Immediate notification to the manufacturers resulted in satisfactory action being taken. The public is becoming accustomed to the frozen food market. |
0179bbf6-afc1-42ad-aed5-a1608e902ae8 | Most of the provision stores, greengrocers and many Page 48 butchers have installed the modern deepfreeze self service cabinets, containing a complete range of foodstuffs of good quality, hygienically packed and in the prime of condition at the time of purchase. Probably the only disadvantage arising is the short life of the food after removal from deepfreeze. Complaints and Prosecutions Complaints brought to this office during the year indicate that continual supervision and regular inspections are necessary where food is manufactured, prepared, stored or sold to prevent contamination and to ensure that such food does not deteriorate during-storage or delivery before sale. Two local traders were prosecuted for selling food not of the quality demanded. The cafe proprietors sold adulterated milk and one in addition substituted margarine for butter. Fines were imposed in both cases. Food Hygiene Regulations 1955 A general improvement has taken place throughout the retail food shops and cafes as a result of substantial alterations. |
603b55fd-c82f-48d3-b1f1-df05fb76a7fb | These changes have provided food rooms capable of being easily cleansed with preparation surfaces constructed of the new hard wearing plastics, more display cabinets protecting the food, and improved hygiene. Some of the multiple shops have carried out complete modern refitting, usually in close co-operation with this department, resulting Mi larger window areas, better through ventilation and improved storage of food and display facilities. During the Council's exhibition held in the Town Hall in September considerable emphasis was given to food hygiene by short lectures to the hundreds of housewives, local traders and school children that attended. onion Peeling Food Hygiene (Amendment Regulations) 1957 1958 the Council decided that the necessary hygiene reqierments could not be met at the houses of those Page 49 cants who wished to carry out this type of work. The distributing firm later made arrangements for the onion peeling to be carried out in workplaces outside the Borough. There are no registered premises in the Borough. Condemned Food Two large distributors of grocery provisions have taken over new warehouses in the Borough. |
3c1b94e0-9ee1-4add-8d8b-8e9651131737 | This has resulted in a considerable increase in the amount of food to be examined. These distributors also collect from shops they supply alleged unsound food which needs inspection and frequently, condemnation. The occurrence of the very warm summer played a part in the deterioration of some meat and meat products. FOOD PREMISES The following is a list of the various premises in the Borough used for the sale of food:- Bakehouses 5 Bread and Cake Shops 21 Butchers Shops 46 Confectionery Shops 82 Factory canteens 56 Fishmongers and Fish Fryers 23 Fruiterers and Greengrocers 43 Grocery Shops 121 Ice Cream Manufactureres 2 Ice Cream Vendors 140 Milk Shops 43 Public Houses and Off Licensed Premises 34 Public House Restaurants 8 Restaurants 48 School Meal Centres and Kitchens 45 Street Traders 29 Page 50 INSPECTION OF FOOD PREMISES During the year the following inspections were made and notices served:- Number of visits 2, |

One of the two manufacturers operating in the Borough lanufactures for national distribution. With this large national distributor supplying ice cream n bulk and in prepacked units for resale a constant check upon chemical and bacteriological quality of this product is ssential. Our samples are submitted to the Public Health Laboratory controlled by the Ministry of Health. During the year there were some complaints from local authorities in the distribution area with regard to coliform findings resulting from bacteriological examination. At no time was the contamination reported serious, nor did it accord with the laboratory results we were receiving in Barking. |
e8f881dd-3103-4913-b153-ae013c88024a | It is unreasonable to expect that all laboratories will produce the same results in detail and it may be that wide examination of supplies distributed nationally is a good thing, notwithstanding the control work in the area of production. At no time was there any complaint about the chemical quality of the product. Lollies The factory where ice cream is produced for distribution on a national scale also manufactures Lollies, with a similar distribution. The products were regularly sampled and found free from lead contamination. During the year 47 samples of Ice Cream have been submitted to the Methylene Blue examination. Sports on the samples submitted are recorded as under:- Fourteen samples of Ice Cream were obtained for chemical analysis and all were reported to be satisfactory. Page 55 Examination of the Ice Cream samples showed a fat content much in excess of the present standards for fat content. Thirty four samples of Lollies were analysed and found to be satisfactory.

Each is provided with modern refrigerators, adequate sinks and washhand basins with constant hot and cold water supplies. Of these shops, 16 are also fitted with modern refrigerated window stalls and display cabinets. Each of these butchers shops has a properly constructed glazed front thus preventing contamination of the meat deposited for sale to the public from dust and dirt from the streets and surroundings. There are no slaughterhouses in the Borough. |
9e77caef-536f-4cf2-8cc7-4eb36086be52 | Meat supplies generally are obtained from Smithfield Market, and are of high standard. Two meat retailers in the district have animals slaughtered at their own slaughterhouses outside the area. MANUFACTURE OF SAUSAGES At the present time there are 35 premises registered for the manufacture of sausages. One of these establishments is a central factory for several butchers shops under the same control. Another factory produces sausages and other cooked foods for the wholesale trade and distributes over a wide area of London and the County of Essex. The remaining 33 premises are butchers shops where the sausages are made and sold in conjunction with their trade. Routine regular sampling for chemical analysis has been maintained and it is noteworthy to record that although there still remains an absence of official standard for meat content sausages, on no occasion has there been a sample reported below 50% for Beef Sausages and 65% for Pork sausages.

Page 64 This is to be achieved by making Smoke Control Orders under the powers given to Local Authorities in Section 11 of the Clean Air Act. The effect of such an order is to prohibit the emission of smoke from any chimney in the area to which it applies. A survey will be necessary covering approximately five thousand houses each year to take a complete record of heating and cooking appliances so that an estimate can be made of the cost of adapting unsuitable appliances to enable smokeless fuel to be used. |
aec43366-b899-4877-b0ee-53adcc720760 | During the year a start was made on the survey of the first, area which will comprise 2,056 Barking Council dwellings, 1,956 London County Council dwellings and 830 private dwellings. Preliminary information will be required by the Minister of Housing and Local Government so that he can make sure sufficient smokeless fuel will be available in the area. The main burden of the needs will be met by coke which the Gas Board say is in ample supply. A coke suitable for burning on domestic continuous burning grates is now produced to a standard specification and is marketed as "Gloco". Joint Conference Three meetings of the Joint Conference of neighbouring Local Authorities were held to discuss matters of common interest in the administration of the Clean Air Act. Arising from the Conference several matters were taken up the Minister of Housing and Local Government and other bodies. |
b7c9994a-7741-4612-b2b9-c8792265e973 | The question of the shortage of smokeless fuels other than coke was raised with the Minister of Fuel and Power, who was also asked to consider the processing of coal into smokeless fuel at the pit head. A protest was made to the Coal Utilisation Council, the Independent Television Authority and the Minister of Power about the advertisements on television encouraging the use of coal on open fires. All three replied that there is no legal Page 65 reason why coal should not be used in houses not in smoke control areas and that by encouraging the use of coal more smokeless fuel would be made available for use in smokeless areas. The Minister of Housing and Local Government was urged to extend the grant provisions of the Clean Air Act to provide for the payment of grants towards the cost of adapting grates in dwellings situated in the areas of heavy smoke pollution, even if such houses were not in smoke control areas. The Minister replied that the purpose of the grant was to assist people compelled to change their fireplaces. |
779a9bbd-3fe6-4bec-bd9c-8ceb8ce9103f | If grants were payable to people outside smoke control areas the Minister would have to make it conditional on the use of smokeless fuel and he thought this condition would be difficult to enforce. Thames View Estate At the end of the year there were 1,883 dwellings on the Thames View Estate, the tenants of which use smokeless fuel on approved grates fitted with means of gas ignition. The estate is a Smoke Control Area by virtue of tenancy agreements and not under the provisions of the Clean Air Act. There have been no difficulties with regard to thesuppl) of smokeless fuels and no complaints of fume emission from fires. The success of the smoke control measures in this area gives rise to hopes that the whole programme will be carried through without insurmountable difficulties. Industrial Smoke Side by side with the work to reduce domestic smoke pollution the activities to control emissions of smoke from industrial sources has continued. The success of this work depends a great deal on the day to day surveillance of chimneys and other sources. |
a9a19ca2-0a63-4027-8bea-100a80114da8 | So far as most of the industrial chimneys are concemed Page 66 most of the contraventions of the Clean Air Act are spasmodic and generally found to be due to some unforeseen circumstances, such as a mechanical breakdown or inexperienced supervision of plant. These matters can generally be dealt with by discussions with the management who have been found to be co-operative. In the case of persistent contravention however formal action has to be taken and this was done in the case of excessive emissions from a chimney serving a furnace producing metallic oxide. A prosecution was taken but the case was dismissed on the grounds that a certificate of exemption from the provisions of Section 1 of the Clean Air Act had been issued by the Council as provided for in Section 2 of the Act. The certificate referred to was for a period of six months which had expired eight months before the Court proceedings. At the end of the year steps were being taken by the Company concerned to install an oil fired furnace which should be smokeless in operation. |
01c09117-c9a0-43a7-a4bf-53ebe7faecfa | Another prosecution was taken against a firm of scrap metal dealers in respect of excessive smoke emission from an installation used for burning the insulation from scrap cable. In this case a fine of £5 was imposed. One serious source of pollution which gives rise to a number of complaints are the bonfires associated with scrap metal yards where car bodies and scrap cable are burned. Section 16 of the Clean Air Act is the only legislation applicable to this type of pollution. This section deals with smoke other than that from chimneys. In order to succeed, any action under this Section must show that an emission is a nuisance to the inhabitants of the neighbourhood. This so difficult to establish as to prohibit the use of the Section. It is felt that such emissions should be subject to the same limitations as to colour and density as those for chimneys. Page 67 Smoke Observations In addition to the day to day surveillance of chimneys already referred to, smoke observations of thirty minutes duration were carried out during the year. These resulted in five contraventions being recorded. |
f083691f-67f0-4828-ae21-86ed0825413c | Warning letters were sent in three cases and the other two were the subject of prosecutions, details of which have been given. There were one third of the number of contraventions recorded in 1958, a probable result of the installation of new plant and instruments being put in hand by a number of factory owners. Measurement of Atmospheric Pollution The measurement of solid deposit and sulphur dioxide pollution of the atmosphere continues to be made. As will be seen from the chart there has again been a reduction in the average soot fall recorded in Barking. From the tables noted on pages 71 and 72 it will be seen that there has been no corresponding reduction in the sulphur dioxide pollution over the years. Work is going on continuously in an effort to discover an economic process of measuring this gas from the flue gases before discharge to the atmosphere. There are processes in use in two London power stations but it costs nearly ten shillings for every ton of coal burned in the furnaces to deal with the sulphur dioxide in the flue gases. |
74bcf708-83c2-4fb1-a9de-377333c1e826 | All fuels, including oil and smokeless fuels contain sulphur in varying degrees and it may be that the best way to deal with the problem would be to remove the sulphur from the fuel rather than from the flue gases. It has been held that so far as coal is concerned a great reducetion could be effected by cleansing coal properly at the pit head but any method would undoubtedly result in an increas in price. Until advances are made in the field of sulphur efforts must be concentrated on the types of pollution which Page 68 can be dealt with, the solid matter. Not only will this make the air cleaner but it will reduce the ill effects of the sulphur dioxide pollution. Record of Chimney Observations carried out during 1959 Observations The number of observations on Factory Chimneys in the Borough during 1959 total 179. Contraventions number 5. |

2176ce11-2f1a-44dc-9833-e45b017ba89d | We have found in practice this gives us the best results. The same bait is usual for surface treatment using prebaits on three consecutive days with zinc phosphide on the fourth day. Warfarin base is our principal bait in the prevention of mice infestation. It was not necessary to serve any notices under the Prevention of Damage by Pests Act. The Council provides a free service for the treatment of any dwelling concerned, but a charge of 7/- per hour is made in respect of commercial and industrial buildings. The Council employs one full time rodent operative. Section G - GENERAL SANITATION STATUTORY NOTICES Default Action In 7 instances it was necessary to report to the Council where owners of properties had not carried out the requirements of notices served within the time specified. The works were carried out by the owners, in each case later, before legal proceedings were instituted. |
9de09289-3d80-4344-97e3-91fd5f65b4e0 | Repairs were carried out by the Corporation at one property in accordance with the provisions of Section 39and 45 of the Public Health Act, 1936, and the cost charged to the owners of the property. 75 Disposal of Radio-active Waste In April it was learned that a local firm engaged in the manufacture of Thorium products was closing down following transfer of the works to another area. A routine check using a survey meter indicated some contamination around the Barking perimeter of the premises. Arising from our result a fuller investigation was carried out by the Radiochemical Inspector of the Ministry of Housing and Local Government. Further areas of contamination within the factory were discovered, mainly in that part of the factory situated in the Borough of Ilford. Whilst the levels of contamination were not such as to create any risk to the public at large, extensive decontamination measures were commenced and were continuing at the end of the year. |
d3ed9f6e-2376-4fef-9eb8-68294cc6182a | Radioactive Substances Bill Whilst the above investigations were in process the Council considered the possible danger to health which night arise from a radio-active episode with the Borough. They expressed anxiety as to their responsibility and invited delegates from neighbouring authority areas to a conference to discuss the matter. A meeting was arranged to take place early in 1960. Examination of Plans The arrangement between the Borough Engineer and ourselves for us to comment on building plans submitted continued throughout the ear - 188 plans were received. This enables co-ordination of requirements to benefit both the Council and the builder. 76 Supply of Dustbins The number of premises where dustbins are supplied and maintained by the Corporation in accordance with Section 75 (3) of the Public Health Act, 1936, was at the end of the year 5,620. The number of dustbins supplied by the Corporation under this arrangement during the year was 414. The total number of properties in the instalment scheme for the provision of dustbins is 865. |
b88f1811-c238-4fb8-a601-3059a6b8202a | Therefore, the total number of privately owned premises in the Borough now supplied with standard type of dustbins has reached 6,485. On their Becontree Estate of 8,000 dwellings the London County Council provide a standard type of galvanised iron bin. In accordance with a hire scheme complementary to the above-mentioned, 149 properties were supplied with dustbins. In each of these cases the dustbins will be paid for by eight annual payments of 4/6d. Public Cleansing Refuse Disposal The Borough Engineer has supplied me with the following information:- The quantity of refuse collected and disposed of throughout the year was 79,205 cubic yards, the average weight per cubic yard 5,482 and the total weight 21,703. In February the Borough Engineer reported to the Council on refuse disposal at the Corporation tip at Rippleside Marshes. He stated that we were disposing of 30,000 tons annually at a cost of 4/- per ton. |
0c9e1e0d-ac52-47d9-baee-ee0055c2e6fb | Our present tipping area was sufficient for a further l5 years but this period would be extended to 17/4 years if we carried out pulverisation prior to tipping. The Council supports the proposal for the installing of a Refuse Disposal Pulverising Plant. 77 Disinfestotion of Verminous Premises During the year we received complaints from 18 premises of vermin infestation - bed bugs. Most of the infestations were minor and were resolved by simple treatment. The total premises comprised:- Barking Council Houses 8 London County Council Houses 6 Privately owned 4 18 The Council provide a free disinfestation service. PESTS Flies and Cockroaches We have continued to operate a mobile spraying unit using dispersable gammaxane chiefly for dealing with breeding sites at offensive trade premises, stables, open land, tips, piggeries and stagnant water-courses. We are satisfied that this practice is successful as a preventive measure. There were 151 premises treated. |
3078e497-de99-479f-8b1e-b277821e9a65 | Private Tips at Rippleside An extensive area of low lying land has been filled over a number of years by uncontrolled tipping. This has caused considerable nuisance and occupied your public health inspectors time in supervision. It is pleasing to report that the operations are now completed. 78 The filled land is available for development and warehouse type buildings are being erected by private enterprise. Pet Animals Act, 1951 During the year 16 inspections were made of the eight licensed premises in the Borough. All the premises are satisfactorily complying with the above Act, which requires provision for fire prevention, proper sanitary conditions throughout the premises and suitable housing and feeding facilities for the pet animals kept for sale. OFFENSIVE TRADES The Diseases of Animals (Waste Foods) Order, 1957 The Council, at the request of the Essex County Council, agreed to take over their functions with respect to this Order as from 1st January 1958. |
1f27d538-7190-441f-ba6f-8200af791003 | Your public health inspectors who already visit the three large piggeries in the Borough, have carried out the duties of inspection and control. Throughout the year there have been 24 visits to the eight offensive trade premises in the Borough. Type of Trade Number Oil Boilers 6 Gut Scraper 18 Oil Boilers There are three groups of products where oil boiling is part of the process of manufacture:- 1. Paint. 2. Printers' Ink. 3. Stand oil and lithographic varnish. 79 The conditions at these factories have been improved by changes in technique. We have occasional incidents due to breakdowns both human and mechanical. Fa! Melting and Gut Scraping Last year I complained that our one long established licensed premises is badly sited owing to redevelopment by industry all around the site. However good the management some odour in the summer is unavoidable. The occupier would readily move out if he could obtain a licence from some other local authority. |

aa2ee15d-0bc0-45bd-ae20-521bd4b88a0c | Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen, In presenting this report on Dr.Groarke's behalf, I should like to thank my colleagues and members of the Council for the help they have given during the year under review. I am, Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen, Your obedient Servant, M-I.Adamson Medical Officer of Health Page 5 GENERAL PUBLIC HEALTH SHORTAGE OF HOSPITAL ACCOMMODATION During 1960, the plans for the major developments at the Barking Hospital were well in hand and it is hoped that within the next few years Barking will have its own general hospital. HEALTH EDUCATION During the year staff, principally medical officers, health visitors and public health inspectors, took every opportunity to teach the main essentials of health education to the people of Barking. NATIONAL ASSISTANCE ACT 1948 It was unfortunately necessary during the year to take power under the Act for the compulsory removal of three persons who were no longer capable of caring for themselves at home and who were unwilling voluntarily to enter hospital. |
ed646c78-0c30-46ea-8aa7-4e4aef400f3e | The first case was an old lady of 84 years who lived alone and refused all offers of assistance. She was admitted to St. George's Hospital, Hornchurch, where after several weeks, she appeared to settle down happily although somewhat confused mentally. The other cases were a brother and sister aged 74 and 78 years respectively, who lived together and who both became progressively less able to manage. They had been maintained at home for several years with the services of a domestic help and a weekly bathing visit, but eventually it became necessary to admit them to "The Willows", Hornchurch, which is maintained by the Essex County Council. WELFARE SERVICES The following information was kindly supplied by the County Welfare Officer of the Essex County Council:- "The table indicates the extent to which the various services provided by the County Council under the provisions of the National Assistance Act 1948 have been afforded to persons having residence in the Borough Page 6 of Barking during 1960. |
5a25a6ec-c4b9-450d-aebd-3acfee7cb64c | Residential accommodation for aged persons continues to be developed to meet the increasing demand and a newly purpose built home is in course of erection in Barking and when completed will accommodate 62 persons. Welfare Services for blind and other classes of handicapped persons are available in many ways; these include home visitation by specialised field workers, tuition in handicrafts (and braille for the blind), recreational and holiday facilities and, especially for the handicapped person, the supply of home aids, gadgets and hoists, and in addition the Welfare Committee give financial assistance towards the cost of structural alterations designed to help the handicapped person in overcoming his disability. There is an occupational centre specially for physically handicapped persons at Barking, and this is proving a great asset to those able to attend, of whom 24 live in the Borough."

Loss of Infant Life The infant death rate in 1960 was 18.07 as compared with 28.95 for 1959. The national figures for these years were 21.7 and 22.2 respectively. The following tables show the causes of infant deaths:- INFANTILE MORTALITY - 1960 Cause of Death Age at Death 0-1 mth. 1-3 mths. 3-6 mths. 6-9. mths. 9-12 mths. |

c5ec837c-77d2-407b-81e1-b0a22b6e5cbb | INFECTIOUS DISEASES The following notifications were received during the year:- Notifications Scarlet Fever 98 Whooping Cough 94 Tuberculosis:- Respiratory 41 Non-Respiratory 3 Measles 36 Pneumonia 35 Dysentery 22 Puerperal Pyrexia 9 Scabies 8 Food Poisoning 4 Erysipelas 1 Pemphigus Neonatorum 1 The numbers of notifications received during 1960 did, in the main go down a, compared with 1959, with the exception of whooping cough where an increase from 8 to 94 was recorded. This might be said to be a reflection on our immunisation programme bu it has never been claimed that immunisation would eradicate Page 11 whooping cough but only that it would materially minimise the severity of the attack. It is pleasing to report that not one single case of poliomyelitis was notified in the Town during the year. |
86512743-8f5e-485b-ba43-e8253e3fd295 | CARE OF THE AGED Throughout the year Health Visitors have endeavoured to visit the aged more frequently in their homes, and increasing use is made of the sick room equipment scheme. One of the most appreciated services which is given on the recommendation of the Health Visitor's visit is domiciliary chiropody. This is provided by the Barking Old People's Welfare Com mittee and at the end of the year 242 old people were receiving this service, an increase of 32 over the previous year. It is interesting to note that the average age of the people receiving this service was 79 years. Again during the year there has been constant and cordial contact with hospitals receiving the chronic sick and with the County Welfare Department. |
a32109ad-3159-4995-826e-69ec1d8b481a | ESTABLISHMENTS FOB MASSAGE AND SPECIAL TREATMENT Licences were issued during the year in respect of four estab lishments which are governed by the Borough's bye-laws, LAUNDRY SERVICE The laundry service for the chronic sick and elderly, operated by the Borough Council has again proved invaluable and during 1960, 48 cases were assisted regularly. This involved the laundering of 11,726 articles. PATHOLOGICAL SERVICE Our association with the Pathological Department of the Ilford and Barking Hospital Group Pathological Service has remained one of excellent co-operation and I should like to give my personal thanks to Dr.Elias-Jones and his staff at the Bark ing Hospital Laboratory for the unfailing help rendered to us. Page 12 Unfortunately, we cannot yet state that these laboratory services are used one hundred per cent by the mothers-to-be of Barking, although it is interesting to note that, with the introduction of the bus service along Upney Lane in 1959, failure to keep laboratory appointments is becoming less. |
d4e76a11-952d-40be-a95d-218c54df09f6 | Pathological examinations may still be necessary even when the baby is born and the laboratory carries out any necessary tests required during the post-natal period and upon babies who do not appear to thrive satisfactorily. Laboratory tests are imperative - even if they prove negative because these form a pattern of normality and thus alleviate anxiety on the medical officer's part and even more important, on that of the parents. As regards epidemics in the Borough, the pathological laboratory again helped us and greatly due to their efforts, many such have been "nipped in the bud" In 1960, 1 am happy to state there were only 22 sporadic cases of dysentery as compared with 47 in the previous year.

CLINIC PREMISES Health Services Clinic - Thames View Estate The Thames View Estate Clinic was opened on the 16th March, 1960, and below is given an extract of the report given by the Architect:- "The building provides accommodation for infant welfare, minor ailments clinics, dental surgery and a chiropodist, and provision has been made for an extension at a later date. The building is of single storey construction in brick with a timber flat roof, and the majority of the windows are of metal except those in the waiting room which are in hardwood, polished The whole building has been designed with a view to reducing maintenance costs but at the same time providing pleasant and comfortable conditions for persons using the clinic." |
58517557-ba72-46e3-862b-f8581b691ecb | With the opening of the clinic, arrangements were made for the Thames View Group Practice of family doctors to transfer from the temp rary building erected by the Barking Borough Council to the new clinic at an agreed rental. The amen ties of the clinic are much appreciated by the publie and the members of staff who work there. CARE OF MOTHERS AND YOUNG CHILDREN Maternity seRvice Ante-Natal Cure.
