c3e3c068-0bbd-4422-9886-858bdcc8d19d | MORGAN (from 1st September, 1962) Clerical Staff MISS N.M. TOMS MRS. G.M. SANGER Rodent Operative W.J. TERRY Norman Bastable - Chief Public Health Inspector On the 31st August, 1962 Norman Bastable, Chief Public Health Inspector since September 1925 retired from local government service, thus terminating a career of over 50 years duration in the field of public health administration. During his service with Barking Council, Mr. Bastable was able to apply his diligence, perseverance and considerable ability in the performance of his duties to the betterment of the everyday affairs for many of the residents in the Borough. Mr. |
723f134c-3a76-4cfe-bc25-933a86742ba6 | Bastable's capabilities as a Chief Public Health Inspector were recognised outside Barking by his election to many National Bodies associated with the promotion of health, hygiene and dealing with the problems of atmospheric pollution, where his contribution in the form of written technical papers, open discussion and on administrative committees has had a profound impact and effect on environmental problems generally. 46 Section 2 GENERAL ADMINISTRATION The work of administering the various Acts relating to environmental hygiene has been carried on throughout the year with routine visits being made by inspectors to all types of premises. The statistics relating to this work will be found in Tables 1, 2, 3 and 4. Houses are visited for a variety of reasons, the most common being a complaint form the occupier of some nuisance. One thousand, six hundred and seven such complaints were dealt with during the year. House to house Inspections are also carried out to discover any conditions which may require to be remedied. |
c3d3c3c9-c71f-4cd4-ab9b-abfa5ec9c5c7 | The local authority is empowered by legislation to deal with conditions affecting the health and comfort of people living or working in all types of premises. Contraventions of the law are brought to the notice of the persons responsible by means of a preliminary notice which can be served without reference to the Council. Two thousand, seven hundred and eighty five such notices were served during the year, the majority of which were complied with without further action being necessary. Cases where preliminary notices are not complied with are referred to the Council for authority to serve a formal notice requiring the contravention to be put right in a specified time. This happened in one hundred and twenty five cases. In no case was it necessary to institute legal proceedings for non-compliance with a statutory notice. Under the Housing Act 1957 the Local Authority is empowered to carry out work which is the subject of a formal notice if it is not carried out by the owner in the time specified by the notice. No action of this nature was necessary during the year. |
494da5c1-8830-4289-9471-5979e4043429 | A similar provision is made in the case of works of repair required under Sections 39 and 45 of the Public Health Act 1936 and under these Sections the Council has carried out work in default of the owners in eight cases. Local Land Charges etc. Information as to statutory orders made in respect of dwelling houses and as to notices not complied with requiring works of repair was supplied in respect of five undred and seventy one properties upon request for official search of the Land Charges Register. In addition, particulars as to properties were supplied in forty two cases in which mortgages were being arranged under the Housing Act 1949 in respect of the Purchase of small dwelling. Improvement Grants All applicants for improvement grants are visited and their premises inspected to ensure that the houses are suitable for improvements and that after improvement a proper standard of amenity will exist. Details of this work are given in Table 5. |
1f2af7e4-4e34-48ca-9626-c95cc57c7991 | 47 Section 3 HOUSING The Council made Compulsory Purchase Orders in respect of the Gascoigne Road No.2 Clearance Area on the 15th October, 1962 and the St. Mary's Road No. 1 Clearance Area on the 7th August, 1962. These areas comprised two hundred and forty two houses regarded as unfit for human habitation and eight premises where it was necessary to acquire in order to facilitate the proper development of the site. A number of objections to the proposal were sent to the Minister of Housing and Local Government making it necessary for a public enquiry to be held. This had not taken place by the end of the year. Table 6 shows the action taken to deal with unfit houses since 1955. Complete statistics relating to the provision of housing accommodation will be found in Table 7. Rent Act 1957 Nineteen applications for Certificates of Disrepair were received during the year, but In only two cases were Certificates issued. |
f9851082-b0ea-4681-b4b8-603be576fc48 | This was because the owner concerned gave undertakings that the defects specified in the applications would dealt with. Public Health Inspectors gave assistance to si* occupiers who wished to ser on their landlords the statutory form giving details of defects existing in their accommodation. Details of the work done under the Rent Act 1957 are given in Table 8. 48 FOOD SUPPLIES Section 4 (a) Food Premises A total of seven hundred and eighty two premises in the Borough are used for the sale of food and the number of visits made to these premises during the year was one thousand, nine hundred and fifty-four. On many occasions verbal notices to remedy minor defects were given, but in eighty cases written notice was served on the occupiers giving details of the work required to be carried out. Details are given in Table 9. It It only by frequent visits that a proper standard of hygiene in food premises and In the habits of food handlers can be maintained. |
14738f5e-07f7-4b33-b775-a13395aba178 | In many cases food handlers appear to be completely ignorant of the first principles of hygiene or too intent on their business to apply them. A peat deal in the way of education is done by the public health inspector on this routine visits and the wholesalers of food, particularly of cooked meats, in many cases give advice on the storage and handling of their products. Much more could be done by the discerning purchaser who buys food only from shops where the standard of hygiene is high. If retailers found that the public would not buy from displays of food so placed as to involve risk of contamination, they would rapidly adopt some other method of display. This principle also applies to other slovenly practices carried on when the public health inspector is not there to see, It is therefore vital that close liaison be maintained between the public health inspector and members of the general public. (b) Unfit and Unsound Food On fourteen occasions complaints were made by members of the public who were not satisfied with; articles of food purchased by them. |
53346e7e-223a-498e-99b5-99558cc331e2 | When complaints of this nature are received the closest possible investigation is carried out. If the food is prepacked the packers are notified and invited to inspect the portion brought by the complainant and to submit their observations on the matter. The shop where the food was bought is inspected and any similar food in stock is examined. In cases of doubt the food may be submitted to the public analyst for examination wrappers of meat products are usually marked with a code indicating the date of manufacture and in view of the comparatively short time this type of product can be safely stored, it is essential that retailers should ensure proper rotation of their stocks. Unless care is taken, new deliveries may be placed on top of stock already in hand and sold first, with the danger that some articles may be held too long before sale and become unsound. A simple code devised by the retailer would avoid this. Table 10 indicates the complaints received and dealt with during the year. Shopkeepers who find they have food in stock which may be unsound invariably ask for an inspection to be made. |
9be6d983-a4c4-4dd3-ad7a-5bbb018a9b76 | Certificates are issued in respect of all food found to be unfit for consumption and such food is always voluntarily surrendered for destruction. A list of food dealt with in this manner appears in Table 11. 49 (c) Ice Cream There are two manufacturers and one hundred and eighty distributors of ice cream registered in the Borough, from whom one hundred and fifteen samples were taken during the year for bacteriological examination. Four samples were taken for chemical analysis to check the fat content of the ice cream. The results of these examinations are given in Tables 13 and 14. Tables 15 and 16 give the results of the examination of thirty-six samples of lollies taken during the year. (d) Milk Supplies A great deal of work has gone on in the field of dairy farming and the dairy industry generally to make milk bacteriologically safe. The work of building up disease free herds of dairy cattle is a task that has been going on for years and the results are now apparent. |
bb89c0bb-d128-4af5-a346-18b0b58fed28 | All milk sold in this area is either T.T., Sterilised or Pasteurised, i.e. subjected to heat treatment. Samples are taken regularly to ensure that pasteurisation i® properly carried out. This is done by submitting the samples to what is known as the "phosphatase test". Sterilised milk is checked by submitting it to a "turbidity test*. Samples are also submitted to a "methylene blue test" to check on the bacterial purity of the milk. Table 17 gives details of the samples of milk submitted to the bacteriological laboratory. (e) Food sampling Samples of all types of food are regularly obtained for two purposes. Firstly to ensure that it contains no harmful organisms and secondly to ensure that it is a genuine article with no adulteration or dangerous chemicals. Samples taken are listed in Table 18. |
0c1d1098-5564-4468-96be-a145b65bd955 | Certain chemicals may be added in prescribed amounts to some foods to imp rove keeping quality, but where this is done a declaration must be made to this effect either on the wrapper containing the article, or conspicuously in the shop where it is sold. It will be seen in Table 19 that in two samples 3, preservative was found in excess of the legal limit and in three cases, no declaration was made although the amount was within the legal limit. In one sample of hamburger and one sample of pork sausage, the meat content was considered to be too low and in one sample of pork chipolata sausages, the meat content included an excessive amount of fat. No legal standard exists for the meat content of these foods, despite requests for one to be laid down. In the case of sausages, however, there is a generally accepted standard of 50% meat for beef sausages and 65% for pork sausages which has been recognised in the Courts. |
f3b95573-4bf0-40ac-b316-35501f2032f7 | 50 Section 5 FACTORIES AND WORKPLACES Routine inspections of factories and all premises where people are employed continue to be carried out with a view to ensuring that adequate sanitary accommodation is available and that working conditions are hygienic. Tablet 20, 21, & 22 give details of these inspections and include visits paid to outworkers' premises. 51 Section 6 ATMOSPHERIC POLLUTION CLEAN AIR ACT 1956 (a) Domestic Smoke Control In accordance with the Council's plan to control domestic smoke throughout the Borough by 1965, two further Smoke Control Orders were made during the year, The following table shows the situation at the end of 1962.

(b) Industrial Smoke Two notifications of intention to install new furnaces were received during the year, both of which were to be oil fired. observations continue to be made on chimneys likely to emit smoke in excess of the legal limit. |
cc5fbe4f-25e3-418a-90a8-8ffe0b8bde01 | During the year, two hundred and six such observations were made and there were thirteen contraventions of the Dark Smoke (Permitted Periods) Regulations 1958. One contravention of the Clean Air Act 1956 was the subject of a prosecution. In this case the offence was against Section 16 of the Clean Air Act which relates to smoke, other than smoke emitted from a chimney, which Is deemed to be a nuisance to the inhabitants of the neighbourhood. The defendant was a scrap metal merchant who, in recovering metal from a large electrical transformer, set light to it, with the result that large volumes of dense black smoke covered the neighbourhood. The case was found to be proved and a fine of £25 was imposed together with costs of £15. (c) Measurement of Pollution The two volumetric filters have been working throughout the year, one at Eastbury House and one at Rosslyn Road School. The filters measure the smoke and sulphur dioxide in the atmosphere and the results are shown in Graphs Nos. |
9da9d5bf-aeb3-4522-9a99-9395f0814e12 | 1 & 2 The average concentration of smoke shows a twelve per cent reduction compared with the previous year, whilst the pollution from sulphur dioxide shows a seven per cent rise. 52 (d) Co-operation with other Authorities The Council are represented at the Standing Conference of Co-operating Bodies for atmospheric pollution which meets under the auspices of the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research. The Conference co-ordinates the activities of all authorities and organisations carrying out atmospheric pollution measurements. Council representatives continue to take part in discussions with neighbouring authorities in connection with the administration of the Clean Air Act. The discussions are mainly concerning Smoke Control Areas and the problems that arise in connection with them. Supplies of smokeless fuels and extensions of the grant scheme have been fully investigated and have been the subject of correspondence with the Ministry of Housing and Local Government The problem of diesel fumes from motor vehicles has also received attention. |
e5763193-e681-4d9e-894d-cebbcaf96f2a | 53 Section 7 PEST INFESTATION CONTROL (a) Rodent Control Four hundred and twenty sewer manholes in the Borough were baited with Sodium Fluoracetate, also known as 1080, in order to control the rat population in the sewers. It is difficult to assess accurately the result of this treatment although there can be no doubt that this activity, combined with regular surface baiting carried out by the Council's Rodent Operative, has effectively controlled the rat population. Table 23 is an extract from the Annual Report submitted to the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food for the year 1962. (b) Disinfestation of Verminous Premises. During the year fourteen premises were found to be verminous, all of which were successfully treated with insecticidal spray, and there has been no recurrence or evidence of vermin since. (c) Insect Pests The mobile spraying unit was again used during the summer months to control insect life of all kinds. |
a941d0cf-5e47-49d1-95b9-828c52f44d9d | In recent years gnats and mosquitoes appear to have emerged as a greater nuisance than the house fly, although in this country the latter is far more likely to be a disease vector. To control gnats and mosquitoes more attention will need to be given to small pools of water and streams which are the breeding grounds. The elimination of pools and the clearing of weeds from ditches can be far more effective than spraying. 54 MISCELLANEOUS Section 8 (a) Supply of Dustbins (i) The number of premises where dustbins are supplied and maintained by the Corporation in accordance with Section 75(2) of the Public Health Act 1936 was at the end of the year six thousand, three hundred and twenty-three. The number of dustbins supplied by the Corporation under this arrangement during the year was three hundred and five. In accordance with a hire scheme complementary to the above-mentioned, ninety three properties were supplied with dustbins. |
4686346b-fef1-4137-a96d-fd403544efe2 | In each of these cases the dustbins will be paid for by eight annual payments of five shillings. The total number of properties in the instalment scheme for the provision of dustbins is one thousand, two hundred and twenty-seven. Therefore the total number of privately owned premises in the Borough now supplied with standard type dustbins has reached seven thousand, five hundred and fifty. (ii) Refuse Disposal. - The Borough Engineer and Surveyor has supplied me with the following information. The quantity of domestic refuse collected and disposed of at the Renwick Road controlled tip throughout the year was 82.981 cubic yards, the average weight 4.7cwt. per cubic yard, and the total weight 19,850 tons. (b) Offensive Trades Throughout the year there have been eleven visits to the offensive trade premises in the Borough. Type of Trade No. of Premises No. |

Thirty-four visits were made to the premises concerned, five contraventions being observed. These were rectified on service of a preliminary notice. (d) Pet Animals Act 1951 During the year fourteen inspections were made of the eight licensed premises in the Borough. All were found to be satisfactory. |
b58366df-3b4a-4d46-9b46-b4fe7816d981 | (e) Swimming Baths and Swimming Pool I am indebted to the Borough Engineer who has supplied me with the following comparative figures: 55 1959 1 960 1961 1962 East Street Baths Total bathers 87,152 113,277 146,121 121,621 Park Swimming Pool Total bathers 174,217 114,895 101,429 62,189 Slipper Baths Total bathers 35,678 32,466 32,282 31,172 Samples of swimming bath water taken during the year as follows:- East Street Bath 12 Park Swimming Pool 4 South East Essex Technical College 11 All samples were found to be of a high standard of bacterial purity. (f) Water Supply (i) Domestic Water Each month samples from the main supplies were obtained for bacteriological examination and twice during the year for chemical analysis. All were reported to be satisfactory. The mains water in the area is supplied by the South Essex Waterworks Company. |
b4f15041-9f80-4a95-820e-1bbdb43f68e0 | (ii) Industrial Water There have been six samples of water obtained from deep wells in use at three factories and submitted to bacteriological examination. Samples of water from both mains supply and deep wells were found to be of a high standard of bacteriological purity. (g) Rainfall Rain fell during the year on 214 days and measured 18.72 inches compared with 21.68 inches for the previous year. Daily records show that 0.01 inches or more rain fell on 125 days and 0.04 inches or more rain was recorded on 89 days.

ff3355bc-538e-482f-a0ac-5aa6dd176b44 | To the Mayor, Aldermen and Councillors of the Borough of Barking. Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen, In presenting my Annual Report for 1963 I wish to express my appreciation to the Members of the Council for their kindness and consideration throughout the year. In addition I should like to place on record my appreciation of the support given to me by my colleagues during the year under review. I am, Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen, Your obedient Servant, Medical Officer of Health 6 GENERAL PUBLIC HEALTH SHORTAGE OF HOSPITAL ACCOMMODATION The rebuilding and extension of Barking Hospital is now in progress, and the contractors started operations on the site on 19th November 1963. To commemorate the occasion, a "Turf-cutting ceremony" on November 22nd, attended by many representatives from Barking and the surrounding County of Essex, was performed by Sir. |
814634db-b347-4805-9404-e0a1413e1cef | Graham Rowlandson who, to my mind, typified the function of a Hospital- "to help those handicapped in any way to regain their strength and learn to function as normally as possible". It was a very moving ceremony, the one thought in many minds at that moment being the wish to hasten on the day when the new Barking Hospital would open its doors and welcome the patients for whom it will be specially equipped. HEALTH EDUCATION Steady progress has been made in group talks in quite a variety of health topics. The demand for talks, however, is likely to exceed the supply, not of subject matter, but of personnel who are suitably qualified to give the talks. I reported last year the serious interest taken by the older girls of the Junior Training Centre in the talks/demonstrations given to them in "Nursing sick people in their own homes" and in 1963 this proved very successful. |
f6471c46-5110-4fd8-a3f7-f5cde3776c7d | Their interest developed into retained knowledge with a good practical standard in carrying out the simple nursing procedures which were included in their training. The British Red Cross Society Junior Nursing Manual was used for this training and the good picture drawings which it contains helped the girls considerably. In June they took the British Red Cross Society Junior Nursing Part I Examination and six out of eight girls received certificates. They are now keenly practising these new skills with the great desire to obtain the Part 2 Certificate. I understand it is the first attempt in this kind of training for mentally handicapped girls in the whole of the County. A British Red Cross Society Link Group has been formed in the School and the girls who have been enrolled as members are busy making dresses for the deprived little children in the Aden Protectorate. The talks on Health subjects to classes of girls at Eastbury Secondary Modern School has now become a part of their curriculum. This school has also commenced "after school hours" training for the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme for interested boys and girls. |
31d0f461-f7c2-497b-a431-0286705364e9 | Mothercraft and Good Grooming are now firm fixtures on Wednesday afternoons for two members of the health visiting staff. I think the success of this project has promoted bigger and better plans for next year. A Dental Health Exhibition was held at Eastbury Secondary Modern School for one week during the Autumn Term and proved a stimulating topic for discussion for the children and teaching staff. The two classes of girls who had received Health Talks assembled a Health Exhibition themselves with a little assistance from the County Health Education Officer. This was viewed by the whole school and has in no small measure promoted a greater interest in health matters among the boys and girls. Many requests have been received by clubs and organisations for talks. The Barking Women's Co-operative Guild asked for one talk on Home Nursing or First Aid and this extended to three afternoon sessions. This is a typical example of the interest in health matters which is growing in the town. Topics range from: 1. |
d9d4f5e0-6c40-4f8b-a182-afdbdbb28b4d | First Aid, Nursing and Mothercraft-these are firm favourites and a good introduction to talks on Home Safety which is now included as a matter of course. 2. The National Health Service and freguently requests are made for a health visitor to talk about her field of work. .3. Nutrition-may sound a dull title but always proves to be of great interest and in these modern days of "snack meals" a very necessaries topic particularly for young mothers. 4. Sex education-is now being requested with more frequency by adult groups which I think shows that parents are beginning to be actively concerned in this aspect of their children's well-being. 5. Mental Health-is another subject which is becoming increasing popular. I have mentioned only a few of the titles of talks requested and no doubt many more will be added to the list as the work progresses. |
18d49952-1b12-49ca-a3fc-d571e3d08c36 | This will mean an expansion of staff with a Health Education Organiser responsible for the overall planning and the training and assisting of staff in methods of teaching, plus a technician to assemble and prepare visual aids and equipment. In fact there should be a Health Education section of the Public Health Department, and this may materialise at a later date. The film "To Janet a Son" was shown in the Assembly Hall in the late Autumn. It proved to be an enormous attraction and some latecomers had to be turned away as the hall was packed. The discussion afterwards, when young "would be" mothers and fathers were invited to ask questions, supplied a fitting end to the evening. 8 HEALTH EDUCATION -Talks etc. given Type of Audience Subject No. of Talks given.

The venture has proved interesting and worthwhile, and now an Eenthusiastic bunch of young mothers eagerly await the monthly meeting. Discussions have been held on matters of mental and physical health and topics are arranged to take in all aspects of family life. 9 The informal discussions give the mothers an opportunity to air their queries and problems, and go away with greater knowledge and confidence to cope with their children. HOME SAFETY One of the most difficult aspects in the field of Health Education is the promotion of Safety in the Home - it is not easy to persuade housewives and husbands that their homes may not be as safe as the think. |
a8384038-e376-402f-91ed-cefc27545f70 | Every year more people die as a result of accidents at home than on the road, and our hospitals are kept very busy dealing with both serious and minor injuries caused by falls, burns, cuts and accidental poisoning. It is deplorable that some people 'don't'or 'won't' understand the necessity of using fireguards, particularly where the safety of old people is concerned. Old folk 'feel the cold' more than when they were younger and often remove the fireguard to obtain more benefit from the heat of the fire and in this way danger of accidental burning is aggravated. With this in mind, the Health Visitors and the Home Safety Officer have taken every opportunity to talk to people at home and in organisations on the need for constant care at home, especially where there are elderly folk or young children, and a regular programme of press advertising has been carried out to supplement such talks. |
9280da90-28f4-4bff-9885-22d97a8992ab | Groups of girls in senior schools and in local organisations are studying Home Safety as part of their efforts for the Duke of Edinburgh's awards, and the Council's domestic helps have made a special study of the problems, especially those concerning the elder and infirm. Competitions on Home Safety have been organised among senior schoolchildren, and booklets and other items have been distributed through all women's organisations throughout the Borough. Posters have been displayed at large factories and literature given out at various out-door events during the year. NATIONAL ASSISTANCE ACT, 1948 I am pleased to report that for the third consecutive year it not necessary to take formal action to secure the removal of any persons from their own homes because they could no longer care for themselves. WELFARE SERVICE I am indebted to the County Welfare Officer for the following information:- Residential accommodation for aged persons continues to be developed to meet the increasing demand and a newly purpose-built Home accommodating 61 persons is now fully occupied. |
fe193a18-7c22-4c16-9d37-acedd0d166ce | 10 Welfare services for blind and other cases of handicapped persons are available in many ways; these include home visitation by specialized 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. In addition the Welfare Committee gives financial assistance towards the cost of structural alterations designed to help the handicapped person in overcoming his disability. There is an occupational centre at Barking specially for specially for physically handicapped persons, and this is proving a great asset to those able to attend, of whom 47 live in the Borough. The table (on page 12) 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 of Barking during 1963. PUBLIC HEALTH ACT, 1961-SECTION 41 It was not necessary to take action under this Section of the Act during the year. |
93f024bc-4bab-434d-82cf-434007e6317b | The Section provides for compensatory payments to Persons excluded from work at the request of the Medical Officer of Health in the interests of public health.

During 1963 there were registered 1,028 live births showing a decrease of 9 from the live births in the previous year. With regard to the stillbirth figure of 24, this shows an increase over Previous year,s figure of 17. |

8844562e-a4d7-4bc3-b3a8-ab76c30d5d7a | 06% this year. Though the number of illegitimate births for 1963 is less than during 1962, the problem of the care of the unmarried mother is one the greatest importance. The increasing evidence of earlier physical maturity, without the corresponding development of mental ability, is an established fact and there is no "cast-iron" method coping with the situation. The loosening of family ties and in some cases almost the olition the 'family unit' has also had a retrograde effect. Internal Mortality I am happy to report there is no record of a maternal death in Loss of Infant Life It is regrettable that during 1963 both our loss of life from infant deaths and also from stillbirths increased. This is particularly disappointing as last year our number of infant deaths was so low comtred the national average. |

The stock of coal was severely depleted in the area, and heating by electricity and gas was reduce owing to the phenomenal demands on the plants installed. Infants by their helplessness and rapid loss of heat, and the old folk by their comparative inactivity suffered most. It was an arctic winter that no one wishes to see repeated.

CONGENITAL ABNORMALITIES The Ministry of Health is now paying much more attention to the occurrence of any congenital abnormalities, both in live children and those vho are stillborn. By means of post-mortem examinations, a surprising number of internal congenital abnormalities have been brought to light and a great stimulus has been given to research into this problem. It may e that post-mortem examinations will become a routine "ocedure in all cases of early infant deaths. DEATHS The causes of death in 1963 are as follows: Disease-s of the Heart and Circulatory System 248 Cancer end other Malignant Diseases 167 Pneumonia, Bronchitis and other Respiratory Diseases 109 (excluding T.B.) |

Fortunately, however, except in a 'ew isolated cases the disease was comparatively mild. |
ffff33f9-30df-49cb-9d47-88475639b446 | CARE OF THE AGED The increasing proportion of the aged in Barking is becoming more and more of a problem. Hospital accommodation and accommodation with partial care is still hopelessly inadequate, and although in this area we are fortunate in having two all-day centres, plus a large number of clubs which are open at least two afternoons a week, there is a lot more Quiring to be done. Mayesbrook, the Home for 62 elderly persons, continues to cope odequately for its residents, by the provision of such is not the answer for everyone. We must endeavour to increase and supplement the do miciliary services and keep as many people in their own homes as we can - the extension of the Home Help Service, the introduction of the Good Neighbours service in the days of the future, even o'putting to bed1 service for the old folk, complete with a hot night drink if necessary. As always, it is the difficulty of recruitment of able folk to do it. |
fda3553b-8a2a-4353-bde6-8516ffa49bb8 | Why not recruit a few men of moderate age to 3this for their own sex? There may be many men (65-70) who would "•happy to help their older brethren. 19 ESTABLISHMENTS FOR MASSAGE AND SPECIAL TREATMENT Licences were issued during the year in respect of four establishments which are governed by the Borough's bye-laws. In accordance with our requirements a hot water supply is available in each surgery. LAUNDRY SERVICE The laundry service of the chronic sick and elderly has continued to help 54 senior citizens, and in the service 13,135 articles have been collected, laundered and returned. During 1963 we were fortunate in acquiring a Minibus and driver who now does the laundry service transport, delivers and collects sick room equipment and medical supplies and has proved! an invaluable help in the smooth running of the Public Health Department.
