To; THE MAYOR, ALDERMEN AND BURGESSES OF THE LONDON BOROUGH OF BARKING. On the 1st April 1965 the new London Borough of Barking came into being under the London Government Act 1963. The department was formed out of the former Boroughs of Dagenham and Barking, although a portion of each was not included in the new Borough. The total population of the new London Borough at its inception was 172,970. |
fa20d1b1-134f-4bfb-bcc3-3eb5ca1f349f | I find it difficult to comment on the services of the new London Borough during this first nine months in the way one usually comments upon the services of a borough which has been established for some years. Prior to 1st April 1965 a good deal of preliminary discussion had, of course, taken place, and the new Council had adopted a policy which was opposed to any member of the staff being declared redundant. It was decided that Dr. Adamson, the Medical Officer of Health of the old Borough of Barking should be made Associate Medical Officer of Health of the new London Borough, and that Dr. Slome and Dr. Packer would both be Deputies in the new Borough. On 1st April 1965 there were then a Medical Officer of Health and an Associate, two Deputy Medical Officers of Health, two Lay Administrative Officers, two Home Help Organisers, and a number of other dual appointments. |
af1f4dee-096d-4edc-abf7-0ae950fc8893 | This could have created extremely difficult problems of personal relationships if the staffs of the two departments concerned had not been so helpful and extremely co-operative. There was much discussion as to whether the headquarters of the new health department should be in the Barking Town Hall or at the Civic Centre, Dagenham. It was finally decided that a small portion of the department, namely the home help service of the old Borough of Barking, with its Organiser, should stay in the Town Hall at Barking, while the rest of the department would be housed in the Civic Centre, Dagenham. Fortunately, a new extension at the Civic Centre, a proportion of which housed the health department staff, had been planned and built when it was already known that the new London Borough would be coming into existence in 1965. This enabled me to make certain provision for extra services such as the mental health service, an expanded school health service, and a separate health education section, which would be necessary for the functioning of the new borough. |
47a93354-34c4-464f-a40a-0c76e54e8c02 | Shortly after amalgamation the Dagenham Home Help Organiser retired, and the opportunity was taken to rehouse the whole of the home help service in the Dagenham Civic Centre. In spite of the smooth way in which the department continued to function after the new London Borough was set up, there were many problems, not least of all those created by differing practices in the two boroughs. It was decided to extend decentralisation of the clinic services to the whole of the new borough, and the administrative staff set about the task of carrying this through. Throughout the period of the changeover from old to new borough, emphasis was laid on the service in the field continuing to function as before. Any necessary administrative changes were made in such a way as to alter the service to the public as little as possible. There was much to learn about services for which the boroughs had not been responsible before April 1965; for example, the mental health service, the home nursing service and a proportion of the domiciliary midwifery service. |
3ea7df36-5a07-41ba-80f7-40f3c1615ce3 | This created a considerable amount of extra work for the staff, as did also the fact that the new authority is a local health authority (that is a first tier authority) 14 whereas most of the previous health services were second tier under the Essex County Council. As well as this, a new executive council dealing with the family doctor services was created covering Metropolitan Essex with which new relationships had to be made so that the domiciliary services in the borough could be adjusted as far ae possible to local needs as expressed by the local medical committee. Because the new borough is situated in the Greater London Area, a multiplicity of committees had to be set up under various names to co-ordinate inter-borough services and to look at ways of overcoming difficulties created by new boundaries and by differing practices in different areas. By the end of the year, one felt that the department was still leading a hand to mouth existence because of the enormous amount of extra work undertaken by staffs who in many cases were still learning their way about unfamiliar services. |
6b124bd6-f6fe-41d3-aad1-f81dec8470ab | Initially it was agreed that the committee structure would consist of a Health Committee dealing with main policy matters to be referred on to the Council. It was also agreed that environmental health, domiciliary services and mental health sub-committees would deal with the detail of these three aspects of the service. Later it was felt that the environmental health service could operate within the main Health Committee. During the year, the new Borough Council informed the Metropolitan Water Board and the South Essex Waterworks Company that they favour the addition of fluoride salts to their water supplies. In December a communication was received from the London Boroughs Committee to the effect that the British Waterworks Association had recommended the Water Associations that they should only take action in connection with the fluoridation of water on the request of all the health authorities within the area of their supplies. The London Boroughs Committee proposed to take a consensus of opinion of their delegate authorities. |
b5b0c28a-67cd-4b73-b9d7-586c51bebed3 | The Barking Borough Council informed the London Boroughs Committee that they favour the fluoridation of water and indicated that legislation was desirable to achieve this. There the matter rested at the end of the year. Staff shortages, particularly of trained field workers, were a major problem during the year, and the Council had already begun to discuss the need for provision for training staff. It was agreed, for instance, that the Council would sponsor up to six health visitor students a year and up to six district nurses and midwives a year for training, and no doubt this policy will extend during 1966 to other sections of the health department. The period of the changeover did not, I feel, adversely affect the ordinary citizens or their use of the services to any great extent. Progress towards an improved service should follow as improvements in staffing and organisation occur. |
e58d5199-4d00-4e94-b75f-90284644de99 | I must thank the staff of the department for having worked so hard and so loyally during the first nine months, as well as the new Chairman and Members of the new Health Committee for the support they have given me.

3280aa2c-7b55-4002-a9a5-945e71618caa | Although, in common with other sections, staffing problems were experienced, much useful work was done in this field during 1965. It was decided that sporadic talks on individual health topics would continue to be given to various organisations at their request. In order, however, to provide more effective health education throughout the new borough, it was also decided that the main effort would be directed towards:- (1) fuller co-operation with schools in assisting them to provide broadly based health education courses at various levels. (2) the expansion of training facilities for workers in the food industry. (3) the provision of in-service training for health department staff. (4) an increase in the provision of literature and visual aids for clinics and schools undertaking their own health teaching. Health Education in Schools Full courses, each comprising a complete series of lectures, were provided for six schools. In most instances these involved regular weekly attendances, sometimes only for a few weeks, in other cases for one or two terms. |
b43f75ad-66af-4da7-9ed4-beedabda5d54 | Occasional, talks on specific subjects were given to another five schools. The subjects discussed ranged from the history of public health to personal hygiene and included dental hygiene, home safety, clean food, child care, the duties of the various public health officers and the dangers of smoking. In many instances the talks given by health department staff were attended by the appropriate teachers who developed the subject in other lessons. This co-operation is proving very rewarding to both teaching and health department staffs. Food Hygiene Education A complete course for full-time bakery students in their first and second years at Rush Green College was arranged and commenced in September 1965. This was in addition to part-time evening courses leading to the Certificate and Diploma of the Royal Institute of Public Health and Hygiene. As it was felt that the Diploma in Bakery Hygiene was too specific for the needs of the general food trader, an approach was made to the Royal Institute of Public Health and Hygiene for the provision of a more broadly based Diploma in General Food Hygiene. |
34089d5f-db27-4b1c-a4a9-16e6e43dbb20 | A number of meetings were held with the Examination Committee of the Institute and by the end of 1965 a syllabus and programme had been agreed for implementation during 1966. Apart from these examination courses, a one-day seminar was arranged in the Small Hall, Barking Town Hall, for the shop managers of a chain of supermarkets. A lecture was given to the canteen supervisors of a large industrial firm and talks were provided for three separate groups of trainee manageresses of a bakery group. In-Service Training Two seminars were provided during the year. One was with assistance from the Central Council for Health Education on "Health Education in Schools." The other on "Congenital Dislocation of the Hip" was given by a local orthopaedic consultant. The one on health education was attended by school nurses, health visitors, teachers and medical officers and was considered to be very successful. The other, which was well attended, was limited to health visitors and midwives and was illustrated by a film. |
6fbc177b-df86-49c1-a5ed-1deae80e4cfa | 19 Other Activities Catalogues of equipment, literature and films available were prepared and circulated to members of the health department and to all schools. As a result requests for visual aids increased considerably particularly since it was necessary to restrict the number of actual lectures given by the health education staff because of the secondment of the Assistant Health Education Officer to a London University Course for the Diploma in Health Education. At the request of the Old People's Welfare Committee, short courses on diet and exercises for the over 60's were provided. The demand far exceeded the amount of professional time available for this purpose and as a result many courses had to be held over until 1966. Talks on various health topics were given on request to various organisations, and 27 film shows were also provided. Three students from the health education course of the London University Institute of Education attended the department for two weeks in March to receive practical training in health education. |
fd116398-f277-47e8-a612-b2ee651ac3b2 | Six students from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine also paid a series of visits and in addition the work of the department was shown to four other overseas visitors. The film on child development commenced some time ago at Becontree Clinic was completed and edited. It is now in use. A colour film on the work of the Kingsley Hall Assessment Centre for the Under-Fives was also commenced but was not completed by the end of the year. The Council agreed that home safety was an integral part of health education and that the health education officer should be responsible for organising home safety teaching within the borough. No exhibitions were held this year, but the fire prevention campaign organised by the Home Office and RoSPA was supported by posters and leaflets. Representatives were sent to the newly-formed No. 10 Area, RoSPA Home Safety Committee and to the Annual Conference. The whole of a 40 ft. tent was utilised for the health department display in the Town Show. |
9aabc6d4-f881-4206-ae57-e1f1e69a6504 | The theme was the work of the various sections within the department, and the exhibition was of help not only to the visitors but also to the members of staff on duty who were able to meet new colleagues from other sections with which they had recently amalgamated. 20 PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICES CARE OF MOTHERS AND YOUNG CHILDREN Ante-natal and post-natal care is offered at the centres shown below. During the year 1,239 mothers attended for ante-natal examination and 321 for post-natal care. In addition 2,748 attendances were made at mothercraft and relaxation classes.

Not least in importance were the changes in the midwifery service. Midwives' ante-natal clinics have been held for some years in Central, Julia Engwell, Porters Avenue and Thames View Clinics, and the introduction of a midwives' ante-natal clinic at Marks Gate Clinic has aided in giving better antenatal care. It is hoped to establish more of these ante-natal clinics in the future. With the creation of the new London Borough of Barking came the Part II Midwifery Training School. This was already long established under Essex County Council administration, at York House and 144 Longbridge Road Nurses' Homes. This School is still being used by pupil midwives of the Waltham Forest School. During this year twenty pupils completed their Part II training successfully. |
e4d2b3a4-b0c5-4843-8710-5988d16d6e19 | Nine of our midwives are approved as teachers by the Central Midwives Board. It is hoped in the near future to introduce the alternate week-end system of off-duty for all midwives serving the borough. During the year, midwives attended 658 domiciliary confinements of which 591 had also booked their family doctor or G.P. obstetrician. In addition, 948 cases of early discharge from hospital received nursing care from the domiciliary midwives. Care of the Unmarried Mother The Chelmsford Diocesan Moral Welfare Association, acting on behalf of the Council, arranged for the comprehensive care and confinement of 55 cases.

e480f658-f8fe-449f-9a98-679e86a5618e | During the year, the following amounts of welfare foods were issued:- National Dried Milk 32,4-00 tins Cod Liver Oil 3,068 bottles Vitamin A and D Tablets 2,710 packets of 20 Orange Juice 34,874 bottles DAY NURSERY SERVICE Early in March 1965 Ashton Gardens Nursery was closed and transferred to Fanshawe Junior School while the old building and clinic were demolished in preparation for rebuilding. The nursery was comfortably accommodated in a building within the school grounds. The Headmaster and Staff of the school were most welcoming and helpful, for which we are very grateful. The School Meals Service provided us with meals, making special arrangements for the babies, and we would like to thank them for taking such a lot of trouble. On the whole, it has been a very happy arrangement, the children particularly appreciating the 'bus ride to and from St. Chad's Church Hall which was the picking-up and returning point each day. |
8e4844d2-4d7d-4db0-b5fa-9f40a546738e | We look forward to returning soon to Ashton Gardens, and hope to report next year that we have returned there. Another important event during the year was the completion of the new Eastbury Day Nursery in Blake Avenue, Barking. The children were transferred 23 from the Gale Street premises on 6th August 1965 and the amenities of the new building are much appreciated by staff and children alike. As the nursery is situated in a central position in the western half of the borough, it was found possible to discontinue the coach service that previously had conveyed children to the Gale Street premises. The increasing recognition of the benefit of group life for the 3-5 yearolds is manifest in the opening of numerous play-groups and child-minder groups throughout the borough. These do not always answer the problems of the working mother or the socially distressed family. At least half the parents of our nursery children are receiving assistance with the fees. There are many children placed in day nurseries because of minor handicaps and behaviour problems. |
56d67e4a-8c4b-48fa-b0a9-33e4963332bb | This fact is recognised by the training colleges who have increased the amount of time devoted to the care and observation of handicapped children in their student training syllabus. These children are not sufficiently handicapped to consider them for the Day Centre at Kingsley Hall, but nevertheless they would greatly benefit to be in the care of trained staffeven for a few weeks. I am thinking particularly of children with little or no speech by the age of 3-4 years, or children with extremely poor social development. These children are lost in their first years at school and rarely catch up with their age groups. The nurseries continue to be recognised as training centres by the Ministry of Health. I would like to mention here the formation of an Advisory Committee for Nursery Nursing at the Hornchurch College of Further Education, Ardleigh Green. I believe the College intend to run advanced training courses for qualified nursery nurses, and I hope some of our staff will be able to attend them. |

At Julia Engwell Play Therapy, 2 children attended for the first two weeks, but very quickly the numbers went up to 12, with a waiting list of 15 children. All children with a special need are admitted immediately. |
f654ccea-b83b-4f61-a596-f1b58e4e9365 | Twenty-four children have been helped in this play group this year, including one little deaf girl who is making great progress with her speech, three backward children, and four who were having difficulty with their speech, and one very difficult boy who was sent to us by Ilford Child Guidance Clinic. At Thames View, 22 children have been helped in this play group including two mentally backward children, three children who were having difficulty with speech, and two Indian children who would not speak at all. Horthbury Play Therapy has helped 19 children, including two mentally backward children, three very timid children who would not mix with other children, and five who were having speech difficulty. In all the groups, 65 children have been helped during 1965. KINGSLEY HALL DAY CENTRE We were very sorry indeed to lose Dr. Hodgson this year, but we wish her the very best of luck in her new and most exalted appointment in the Ministry of Health. |
ef2a14ac-0e24-4b8f-bd88-b8eb7f677ce1 | She has been most helpful in any difficulty we have encountered, and still maintains a great interest in Kingsley Hall. To add to our deprivation, Sister Torrington also left us - but only for a few months while she had her baby. Despite our difficulties, the nursery continued to function. The devotion and skill of the staff was a great source of help and encouragement to the new recruits who took over the running of the nursery. Attendance has continued to be excellent. Despite a rather lengthy period of infection with measles, mumps and chicken pox, the average attendance was 15.5 per day. The number of admissions was 16 and the number of discharges 15. There were an increasing number of hospital and dental appointments arranged by the nursery to which our Staff Nurse accompanied the child. These visits are most successful, as the specialist is able to get a more accurate account of the child's behaviour in the nursery. |
