1bc3ec1c-915d-4005-831e-9ba6a9d83d04 | 1951 One premises which has been registered under Section 2 of the Act continues to operate. Samples are regularly taken at the factories in the borough where filling materials are manufactured. Twelve informal samples were taken from premises during the year, all of which were satisfactory. The details are as follows Material Number of Samples Submitted for Analysis Rag Flock 1 Cotton Felt 5 Coir Fibre 1 Kapok 1 Sisal 3 Layered Flock 1 PET ANIMALS ACT. 1951 14 licences to keep pet shops were issued during the year. The amount of livestock generally kept is quite small. No serious breach of the conditions occurred during the year. 69 PREVENTION OF DAMAGE BY PESTS ACT. 1949 The service under this Act continued, rats and mice being destroyed by the two Rodent Operatives acting under the direction of the Public Health Inspectors, While householders receive a free service, a charge is still made to occupiers of business premises. |
7123a3d7-5536-498c-a881-60900329b6e3 | RIDING ESTABLISHMENTS ACT. 1939 The two riding schools in the borough operate under the supervision of the Corporation of London, who act under delegated powers. Both schools are satisfactorily conducted, and the animals are well cared for. DISEASES OF ANIMALS ACT. 1950 I was very glad when the Council decided to delegate the administration of this Act to the Corporation of the City of London. I consider that one authority should have been responsible for this work throughout Greater London. I appreciate that the "animal" population is not high, but if an outbreak should occur, several authorities would automatically be involved. Happily, the year passed without incident, and it has been a pleasure to deal with the Corporation of London officials. FACTORIES ACT. |

OFFICES, SHOPS AND RAILWAY PREMISES ACT, 1963 This Act continued to occupy a lot of the Inspectors' time, and our normal duties under this Act were delayed by the necessity to inspect and advise on all the Council's premises. The following statistics indicate the work done by the Public Health Inspectors during the year:- No. |

7843ad03-40a5-4596-a6a8-8699c3b70fb9 | INSPECTION AND SUPERVISION OF POOD The numbers and types of food premises in the borough are as follows 7 Bakehouses 49 Bakers and Confectioners 87 Butchers 227 Cafes and Canteens 44 Fishmongers 84 Fruiterers and Greengrocers 152 Grocers 62 Licensed and off-licensed premises 18 Public Houses with Restaurants 141 Sweets, etc. All food premises are regularly inspected and during the year 3,450 visits were paid. In addition to numerous verbal warnings and suggestions to management and staff during these routine visits, 216 informal notices were served upon owners or occupiers. 238 inspections were carried out in connection with itinerant vendors and stalls, and 25 informal notices were served. |
dfb50f18-bf53-4f55-a4d2-33927d712184 | The position under the Food and Drugs Act, apart from registrations in respect of ice cream, is as follows:- 73 butchers' premises and 11 other food premises are registered for the preparation or manufacture of sausages or potted, pressed, pickled or preserved food. To these registered premises 634 visits were paid. 37 fish shops are registered for frying. To these 254 visits were paid. Milk All milk distributed in this area is produced and bottled outside the borough. The number of registered distributors is 71 operating from 100 premises. 147 visits were paid to dairies and distributors' premises. |
10cf96ce-5d8c-457c-8117-8bb9a255adeb | The following samples were submitted for bacteriological examination during the year:- Designation of Milk Total Samples Submitted Methylene Blue Test Phosphatase Test Turbidity Test Satisfactory Unsatisfactory Satisfactory Unsatisfactory Satisfactory Unsatisfactory Pasteurised 74 72 2*- void 74 - - - Sterilised 17 - - - - 17 - Channel Island Pasteurised 21 20 * 1 - void 21 - - - •These three samples were rendered 'void' because the shade temperature at the time exceeded the permissible maximum of 65°F. Four samples of pasteurised milk included above were taken from milk vending machines. Ice Cream The total number of registered premises selling ice cream is 222. Of this number, two are registered for the manufacture of ice cream. 274 visits were paid to these premises. During the year, four applications for the storage and sale of ice cream were granted. 39 inspections in connection with itinerant vendors were carried out. |
0ee9364a-3d76-4ccd-aa76-1e5e4a2ecf36 | During the year, 122 samples of ice cream were submitted for bacteriological examination; they were graded as follows:- Grade I Grade II Grade III Grade IV Total Wrapped Ice Cream 38 12 2 4 56 Loose Ice Cream 26 5 4 4 39 Soft Ice Cream 13 6 4 27 In addition to ice cream, 37 lollies were submitted for examination. All were satisfactory. When Grade IV samples appear, this does not necessarily mean a "dirty" product. Some harmless but heat resistant bacteria are not destroyed by pasteurisation but have an adverse effect on the methylene blue test which is the test used to grade ice cream - a test which is admitted to have shortcomings. Unsound Food The general increase in mechanisation of the preparation, packaging and distribution of food brings in its trail its own problems. Years ago the shopkeeper and customer actually saw what was being sold. |
44e1f8f4-30f6-4a38-912d-60cfba176a31 | Now, very properly in the interests of hygiene and convenience, many commodities are rarely, if ever, touched by hand, and one is faced with an entirely different set of problems; e.g. mould in wrapped products and oil contamination from machinery, while foreign objects often only come to light when containers are opened, and identical "deliveries" make stock rotation a must. 73 During the year the Committee considered 25 complaints concerning food. Sixteen were sent warning letters, and three were prosecuted. In one case it was agreed that legal proceedings should be taken, but the main witness was unwilling to give evidence; consequently, a warning letter was sent to the manufacturers. Registration of Food Hawkers Under the provisions of the Essex County Council Act, 1952, Section 103, two persons were registered as food hawkers during the year. |

985b3f0c-7004-4295-9cac-f4cf04f0c4d4 | To: THE MAYOR, ALDERMEN AND BURGESSES OF THE LONDON BOROUGH OF BARKING. The end of 1966 saw the end of the first full year of the new London Borough of Barking. It was a year of considerable progress in the settling in of staffs, the beginning of the emergence of a new pattern of borough services very different from the pre-amalgamation days. The building up of new relationships, both inside and outside the department, continued. The need for fostering these relationships between members of the staff of the department itself and with other departments began to make itself evident towards the end of 1966. This it was felt should be a major aim during 1967. At the end of 1965 the department was leading a hand-to-mouth existence, coping with day-to-day problems as they arose but with very little time for long-term planning. |
0cefd4e3-5499-430c-a805-9cae0ffd681f | During 1966 plans were made and efforts continued to develop the mental health section of the department so as to lay down a satisfactory pattern for the future. Towards the end of the year, in spite of shortages of staff, improvements in the quality of service were beginning to be achieved. It gives me particular pleasure to be able to say that looking at the main body of the report one is struck by the developments in certain sections of the department in spite of their patchiness. Progress continued in health education on which so much of our primary preventive work for the future must depend. One special aspect of health education which occupied a considerable amount of the time of the health education staff was health education in schools. It became evident that much of the health education in schools would have to be carried out by teaching staff, and it is hoped to increase the in-service training for teaching staff started in 1966. |
6f621353-4655-4ed8-a331-e42674d182d3 | In the general field of health education it is of vital importance that all members of the staff should play their part and not assume that the health education staff alone should carry out this task. In this connection, the next step in development in health education should be the beginnings of evaluating health education in the borough. The evaluation should be first enquiry as to the need for health education and for the particular aspects required within the borough, followed by an assessment of results to find out whether what has been attempted has, in fact, been achieved. This evaluation has been held up because of staff shortages. A reduction in ante-natal attendances continues, but this must not detract us from continuing to press forward with ante-natal preparation classes until every expectant mother - whether she has her confinement in hospital or at home - who resides in the borough has attended at least for her first pregnancy at a course of ante-natal preparation and that the expectant fathers too have been given an opportunity of attending with their wives. |
08ffc311-8efe-4ae8-8b8e-4fb1fb1bc853 | It is with particular pleasure that we have to announce that we were at long last able to open the Annie Prendergast Clinic and Day Nursery named after Mrs. Annie Prendergast. Mrs. Prendergast has done invaluable work over many years for the health of the people of Dagenham, and it is due to her foresight that the seeds of many of the progressive measures within the borough were sown. The borough owes her a debt which perhaps cannot ever be repaid, but it was I feel a particularly happy thought on the part of the present Chairman, Alderman Mrs. Ball, to suggest that the Annie Prendergast Clinic 6hould be named after her, and it gave many people a great dead of pleasure that this plan was carried through. 14 The year 1966 was, I feel, a year of progress, of sorting out priorities within priorities, and of looking ahead. |
a9004aa5-a6b2-40b1-b442-aaa5e5a1313c | This is not to say that practical progress has not been made, and indeed progress will be evident to anyone dipping into the main body of this report. I must thank all the staff, medical and lay, for their co-operation during the year, and the Health Committee with its Chairman and Members for the support they have given me during the year. J.

The infant death rate was again well below the national average of 19*0 and the stillbirth rate showed a welcome fall from 18.74 in 1965 to 14.27 in 1966. I regret to report that two mothers died from causes associated with pregnancy and childbirth during the year. Everything was done to preserve life and subsequent investigations attributed both deaths to natural causes. |

Expansion of the service was not possible until the full establishment of staff was available in August, but by the end of the year under review considerable progress was being made, particularly with health education in schools and in-service training. It is obvious that the latter must become one of the principal duties of the section as it will never be possible for the health department in general to provide all the health teaching necessary for the borough. Advice, instruction, equipment, literature and information will be freely available if required, but a considerable amount of the actual teaching of the public will have to be carried out by teachers, health visitors, youth leaders and others in contact with them. |
b9fc36b2-3a2c-4f40-b8c9-44fafeaf7c8e | Health Education in Schools Assistance was given to ten schools during the year, each programme being tailored to the individual requirements of the head teacher and staff. In some cases the assistance was limited to a few talks and a supply of visual aids and literature. In others, regular weekly lectures were given. Probably the most satisfying aspect of this work was the sense of complete integration of the health education programme into the general syllabus of many of the schools where health topics became part of the normal curriculum and undue emphasis on such controversial matters as sex education and the use and abuse of drugs was avoided. In one school a parent/teacher association meeting was addressed by a panel comprising some members of the teaching staff and representatives of the school health service and the health education section. In-Service Training A seminar on child development held in the Small Hall, Barking, was attended by about 80 representatives from the health and education departments of our own and adjoining boroughs. |
54a27756-f105-4dc8-b9ea-30ab962ffd2d | It proved very successful and may well set the pattern for future discussions on topics of mutual interest. Talks on health education and demonstrations of equipment were given to the staffs of three schools, and an exhibition was also provided at a course organised by the education department for young teachers. An excellent liaison exists between the staffs of the two departments, and as a result a series of weekly lectures in health education for Post-Graduate Certificate of Education students was run in the autumn term. Requests from teachers for a course on the use of visual aids were also received, and by the end of 1966 arrangements had been made for this to commence in the new year. So far as health department staff were concerned, in addition to the seminar, demonstrations of equipment for health visitors were arranged and five film shows provided. The latter enabled the medical, nursing and mental health staffs to see and discuss recently released films. |
3f30f4bf-907e-45cf-9824-f39c80635c8a | The matron of a local hospital requested a series of talks on public health matters for her final year students, and these were provided. 19 Food Hygiene Education Following on the discussions with the Royal Institute of Public Health and Hygiene in 1965, a pilot course for the Diploma in General Food Hygiene was organised at the beginning of 1966. As the syllabus was purely experimental, many meetings were necessary both with the staff of the Institute and with the bakery staff of Rush Green College without whose willing co-operation it would have been impossible to run the course. A pass rate of 60% in the final examination was rather lower than we had hoped, but the fact that there were no precedents upon which to base the teaching was no doubt to some extent responsible. The Certificate Courses in Food Hygiene for the full-time bakery students, commenced in September 1965, were continued for the remainder of the academic year, and 100% passes were achieved in the examinations in July. |
ee355b60-d19c-4d06-b295-23fa00dd4c68 | At the request of the Principal the course was re-commenced in September for the new first-year students, and it is anticipated that a food hygiene course will in future be included in the syllabus for all full-time bakery students. Also, in September an evening Certificate Course was started with the intention of continuing to Diploma level in the spring and summer terms. The possibility that food hygiene courses may qualify for grant under the Industrial Training Act was discussed with the College and Institute, and if this does occur, the number of students may increase rapidly. A number of meetings with the staff of one of the bakeries where a separate food hygiene certificate course used to be run led to the firm agreeing to organise its own preliminary training for the majority of the staff and to send those who wished to take the examination to Rush Green College for tuition. Home Safety With the co-operation of the local press a quarterly home safety bulletin was commenced. |
169e7742-bd59-4cf2-8c67-90f77efb0856 | In addition to those printed in the newspapers, 19,000 copies of each issue were distributed throughout the borough to schools, libraries and interested organisations. Support was also given to the No. 10 Area RoSPA Home Safety Committee and to the RoSPA National Conference. Seven talks were given to students at the Technical College, women's and old people's organisations, and in addition home safety teaching is included in every school health education programme. Training of Students In March, one South African and one Chinese student were attached to the department by the London University Institute of Education for practical health education training. In December, two others both from Nigeria spent one week doing practical work. Four overseas students from the environmental hygiene course of the Royal Institute of Public Health and Hygiene were with us for two weeks. Occasional visitors included two social workers from Finland, one from Hong Kong, four from the Barking Regional College Social Studies Course, three student health visitors and four student nurses. |
333d69f3-be68-4faa-8a43-9f11125dc052 | Youth Under the auspices of the Youth Officer in the Education Department, two meetings of youth leaders were attended and a demonstration of health education films was given to others on a third occasion. Visual aids were supplied to one youth club to assist the warden in his teaching and a talk was given by the health education officer to another at the request of the organiser. 20 Certain organisations for young people take part in the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme and the health education section undertook examinations in the home safety aspects of this scheme. The Adolescent Clinic at Becontree Avenue continued during the early part of the year, but it was not found possible to re-commence it after the summer holidays. The staff of Porters Avenue Clinic decided to inaugurate a clinic for adolescents on a Thursday evening, and this began in the late autumn. In both cases visual aids and general assistance were provided by the health education section. |
c52e5969-6900-4f28-aa64-85cae897d92e | Old People's Clubs The short courses on diet and exercises for the over sixties which had proved so popular in 1965 were continued in four old people's clubs in 1966. The colour film "Exercises for the Over Sixties" which had been made locally was widely used and proved of great interest. Discussions were held on the possibility of organising a course for voluntary workers with old people, but it was not found practicable to complete the arrangements in 1966. Displays and Exhibitions An exhibition for Mental Health Week was held in the Small Hall, Barking, in June, 1966. A great deal of work was put in by the staffs of the mental health section, the adult and junior training centres and the Goodmayes Hospital, and it is unfortunate that more members of the public did not attend. For the first time at the Dagenham Town Show a municipal tent was provided to display some of the services provided by the local authority. |
1db9412b-1171-4842-9b7f-9cdfc6b5b7e0 | The health department stand depicted the work of the domestic help service, the school health service and the public health inspectors. A large crowd attended the Show which was well worth-while. Just before Christmas the film "Batman" was shown at the local cinema, whose owners kindly agreed to allow us to place a suitable home safety display in the foyer. Other Activities Seven talks were given to various groups on subjects ranging from Weil's disease to oral contraception. Owing to pressure of other duties, it was not possible to do much in the way of film making apart from the production of an 8 mm loop film on the activities of the Westfield Club for the Mentally Handicapped, and the completion of the colour film on the work of the Kingsley Hall Assessment Centre. In all, 86 film shows on various topics were arranged during the year. 21 PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICES CARE OF MOTHERS AND YOUNG CHILDREN Ante-natal and post-natal care is offered at the centres shown below. |
62791253-b0df-404f-968a-fcd63ac2eee3 | During the year, 449 mothers attended for ante-natal examination and 60 for postnatal care, compared with 1,239 and 321 respectively during the previous year. In addition, 2,057 attendances were made at mothercraft and relaxation classes compared with 2,748 in 1965. The fall in attendances at these clinics reflects the tendency for ante-natal care to be centred on the hospital and general practitioner services, and a review of the need for some ante-natal sessions is being undertaken.

2125d253-8d84-4a73-9d75-cd418050026d | 22 Midwifery Service There were no notable changes in the midwifery service in 1966, and the service continued to settle down after the upheaval of the year previously. It was very pleasing to note that during the year all our pupil midwives were successful in their examinations, which speaks well of the training they receive. In 1966 the trend for responsibility for patients' ante-natal care to be centred on the general practitioner/domiciliary midwife team in home confinement cases continued, and midwives increasingly held their own ante-natal sessions thus relieving hard-pressed medical officers. During the year, midwives attended 644 domiciliary confinements of which 581 had also booked their family doctor or G.P. obstetrician. In addition, 1,220 cases of early discharge from hospital received nursing care from the domiciliary midwives. |
0284d3e7-acd5-4589-93bd-0c1b4fa4bd8b | 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 36 cases.

During the year, the following amounts of welfare foods were issued:- National Dried Milk 36,876 tins Cod Liver Oil 3246 bottles Vitamin A and D Tablets 2894 packets of 20 Orange Juice 40,961 bottles DAY NURSERY SERVICE The average daily attendances and numbers on registers are shown below for each month of 1966:- Month Goresbrook Fanshawe/ Ashton Gardens Eastbury Average Daily Attendance No. on Register Average Daily Attendance No. on Register Average Daily Attendance No. on Register January 29.7 38 24.5 42 39.2 50 February 29.9 38 30.5 40 36.0 49 March 31.9 41 37.9 41 36. |

37edc146-e2da-4bf7-9fee-3efb1c7d9ca2 | The children have enjoyed the extra space and facilities that are available. Staffing problems have been very difficult, mainly due to trained staff shortages. Three nursery students entered for the N.N.E.B. examination in July, and I am pleased to report they were all successful. I feel that it has been a happy and successful year. Fanshawe/Annie Prendergast Day Nursery - Matron reports as follows:- We spent most of 1966 at Fanshawe Nursery, only moving to our new nursery on 24th October of that year. It was indeed a busy, and in a way a rather unsettling period, the enquiries regarding our move, equipment, etc., etc., were constant, the delay seemed endless, the setbacks many, we were at one and the same time excited, disappointed at the delay, and always longing to get in. |
c5e43164-5701-4082-bd93-3007a6663d48 | The staff and I made frequent visits to prepare what we could, and when we were finally told the day of departure a cheer could be heard around the building. This didn't mean, of course, that we hadn't enjoyed our stay at Fanshawe; it was gratifying to see how well all the nursery staff, parents, staff in the school nearby, including the caretaker, not to mention all the people "on our own side" had co-operated to make our stay there as settled as possible. The children, too, were happy and confident in their temporary home. They used to enjoy the coach ride which was (according to them) always taking us off to some seaside resort or another, but I must admit the staff heaved a sigh of relief when we made the last coach journey. |
70b10b0a-fec2-4344-a834-15e8b04361d9 | Anyway, I think we shall always have a soft spot for Fanshawe Nursery, or as it is called now "Elmshaw Youth Centre"; the young people had many plans for it, and we can only wish them every success. It seemed strange when we did finally move to our modern, centrally heated, nursery. The routine ran more smoothly, it was easier to keep clean, and after we found our way around, we began to feel quite at home, and to enjoy it all, especially being surrounded by lovely new equipment and toys. Also, as we had been rather isolated at Fanshawe, it was good to feel back in the centre of things again. The official opening of the nursery and clinic on the 14th November was a pleasant and, I think, a successful occasion. We had many, many visitors prior to that, and afterwards, men walking around with tape measures, and officiallooking papers, examining this, that and the other. |
430ff26f-ff7d-4df9-b90f-dd620e5c5d50 | We took it all in our stride, and cooed over all the admiring remarks made about the nursery by these and other visitors. We have continued the open evenings we started at Fanshawe (usually two or three a year) and find this a good opportunity not only of getting health education over to parents and staff alike, but also of meeting the parents socially, in a relaxed and informal mood. In conclusion, I would mention the progress that is being made through the Nursery Nursing Advisory Committee in our relationship with Hornchurch College of Further Education. It has gone from strength to strength. New developments have been made which appear to be advantageous to both nursery and college staff, not 25 the least of which is the forthcoming course to be held there for senior nursery staff. |
32d1efd2-9143-43dd-8da8-1bf7d8a082b3 | Perhaps this is one way in which we can look forward to an even greater understanding and closer liaison between health and education authorities, which in turn will enable us to give an even better and wider service, both to parents, children, and the students who are appointed to train in our nurseries. Goresbrook Day Nursery - Matron reports as follows:- An uneventful year. Our biggest problem has been shortage of trained staff. Owing to this, the intake of children has now to be reduced. This is a very unhappy situation. Apart from liking the nursery working to full capacity, a certain amount of hardship must be caused to the parents who have children on the waiting list, especially the unmarried mother who is keen and willing to support her child. PLAY THERAPY During 1966 our play therapy sessions continued to give excellent service. |
cc3199f6-9188-441b-9339-68456e426084 | During these sessions the child (2-5 years of age) has a wonderful opportunity of 'letting off steam', and this' evidence may be illustrative of an underlying emotional upset. This group of children, deliberately restricted in number to about 8 to 10, all have come emotional problem but are of infinite variety and type. Included among these children may be the child who is 'withdrawn', a possible psychotic, the child who is being 'killed by kindness' by one or both parents - usually an only child, the child who is 'difficult' or even one who is getting on mother's nerves with disastrous effects on both mother and child. Ac an observer, it is fascinating to watch the child who on his first visit remains aloof and an outsider, gradually at each succeeding session make tentative approaches to the other children and the staff. The latter welcome this approach, respond immediately, and eventually a most satisfactory rapport is established between them. |
d40b02b9-7e74-4751-807d-b2e712459025 | The development of the child's own individual personality is encouraged and guided by the staff in charge (who hold the National Nursery Examination Board certificate). Each child is admitted on a doctor's recommendation and the doctor may be a general practitioner, clinic doctor, or in some cases a consultant from Great Ormond Street or similar children's hospital. In the first instance, the child is introduced into the group for a period of approximately three months but this may be extended if it is considered to be advantageous, due consideration being given to the 'waiting list'. At present the play therapy sessions operate twice a week at Northbury School (as accommodation at Central Clinic is so limited), Thames View Clinic and Julia Engwell Clinic. |
f34926e3-a38b-46ec-aac5-56c848c05cca | Each session functions only for two hours, and again the short duration is deliberate to avoid the child getting the impression that his mother is trying to 'get rid of him' I think it is true to say that the parents of these children are most grateful for the help they are being given and are receptive of ideas given by the staff, as we are all beginning to realise how much a child's emotional development can be encouraged by the stimulus and understanding he receives from his parents and the other adults around him. In all groups 91 children have been helped. We had waiting lists for all groups. It is hoped in the very near future to establish another unit, but this has not yet been realised. 26 Northbury - 29 children have been helped including two mentally handicapped children, seven children having difficulty with speech, four disturbed children, three from unhappy homes and one partially deaf child, one physically handicapped child. |
2014fec4-adaf-445a-8b51-b76fc9135cc4 | Julia Engwell - 38 children have been helped including two completely deaf children, one autistic child, two mentally backward children, five with speech difficulty and two very timid children who would not mix. Thames View - 24 children have been helped including two mentally backward children, one spastic little girl, and six having speech difficulty. KINGSLEY HALL DAY CENTRE We were very sorry indeed to lose Sister Torrington this year, and wish her every happiness in her new home in America. We welcome Sister Daly in her place, and hope she will enjoy the work at Kingsley Hall. We also wish Miss Howe a happy retirement - she left us this year after 26 years' work in the nurseries. The day centre has continued to function very well. The average daily attendance was 15.5 The number of new admissions was 11, and the number of discharges 8. All those discharged were sent to school or training centre suitable for their requirements. |
2ed4879b-d711-457d-b7c6-e5eea0d4b107 | We continue to have most helpful weekly visits from Miss Hodges(the teacher of the deaf) and also two sessions a week from Mrs. Warwick our physiotherapist who is a most valuable member of the staff. We have been most fortunate to have the services of a very devoted volunteer worker, Miss May Smith, who comes every Friday for the whole day. The children and staff look forward to her weekly visits, and she has never failed us. We have had our usual amount of interested visitors from various parts of the country, and we also had a visit from Dr. Rioux from Washington, U.S.A., who was very interested in our work. Altogether it was a successful and progressive year. CYTOLOGY CLINICS During 1966 we continued to hold a weekly session for cervical cytology at Oxlow Lane Clinic. The public response was very good and we have been able to send 20 appointments per week. |
3e9d9d09-5748-4ce5-8757-baee0facda65 | The session proved very useful, as apart from detecting two carcinomas-in-situ, many other gynaecological conditions have been referred for specialist advice. I't has also been possible to give instruction in the self-detection of breast cancer. With the growth of laboratory facilities we were in the happy position of being able to increase our service to the public by starting a cytology clinic at Porters Avenue Clinic in November and by seeing a greater number of patients at Upney Clinic. Of 675 patients examined in these two clinics, 4 cases of carcinoma-in-situ were detected and a number of cases were referred for other gynaecological conditions. The total number of patients seen was 1,186 of which 104 were referred to hospital for further investigation and treatment. I am most grateful to the consultant gynaecologists who very kindly 27 accepted, investigated and treated all the patients we referred to them, and also to the general practitioners who were most co-operative and helped our work tremendously. |
93b61b06-acf0-4fcf-8d50-af4693bdd442 | HEALTH VISITING The service has been carried on with certain limitations due to unfilled staff vacancies. While visits have been made to all mothers and newborn infants, with phenylketonuria tests made at 3 And 6 weeks, further follow-up work has not been maintained at the level we would wish. Most mothers attend their nearest Infant Welfare centre until the baby is a year old, and have the opportunity to discuss developmental problems with the medical officer and the health visitor, but follow-up work amongst toddlers has tended to lag. It is during the middle pre-school years that behaviour patterns begin to emerge, and close observation is needed in order to recognise deviations from normal. As progress is made towards a full child development assessment programme, problems in behaviour become more clearly recognised, and health visitors are seeking to assist mothers in day-to-day management through both personal and group discussions. |
e6d4bf04-fcde-4207-a8a6-3741b4f6f47c | Several regular sessions are under way wherein emotional as well as physical development are considered, and whilst the undoubted need for more home visits exists, profitable time must also be spent in health education. An Open Evening for fathers is usually very well attended. With the decline in demand for local health ante-natal services, some sessions are being taken over by the midwifery section, and others used for cytology. This service has opened up the health and social needs of a section of the community not hitherto dealt with, and clinic premises are more and more visited by adults other than expectant or nursing mothers. Health visitors are tending to have a closer relationship with the school population, and are available to both staff and children. They have been frequently involved in the health education programmes. An Adolescent Clinic is held at one centre following school hours. |
4c31275d-2636-4ce3-a3a9-3206fb2de37e | Visits to the elderly to assess needs, capacity, and those concerning conditions likely to cause physical and mental deterioration, have been Bade initially by health visitors with clinic nurses taking the weight of follow-up visiting. To keep abreast with trends and developments, the staff have had opportunities to attend refresher courses and conferences, including an evening at York House when a Consultant discussed the need for early diagnosis of congenital dislocation of hip in the newborn, and demonstrated both with film and with a baby borrowed for the occasion, techniques of examination to midwives and health visitors. All health visitors in the area attended courses on screening tests for early detection of hearing loss. |
aafd319d-400e-47d1-9430-e815bb305db2 | Health Visiting Statistics Cases visited by Health Visitors Number of Cases Children born in 1966 2,963 Children born in 1965 2,034 " " 1961-64 6,086 Total 11,083 28 Cases visited by Health Visitors (continued) Number of Cases Personal aged 65 or over 469 Mentally disordered persons 14 Persons discharged from hospitals (excluding maternity patients) 33 Number of tuberculous households visited 22 Number of households visited on account of other infectious diseases 4 Homes visited by tuberculosis visitors 729 CHILDREN'S DEPARTMENT During the year, 105 medical examination forms completed by local general practitioners have been perused by the Deputy Medical Officer of Health. In this way, important medical aspects are brought to the notice of the Children's Officer. These children were boarded out into foster homes. Each of the Children's Homes have been visited by my Deputy, and were found to be in good order. |
a53a5e03-dbb9-4b86-8412-01b375cc93a2 | Liaison with the Children's Department is ensured by the attendance of my Deputy at Children's Committee meetings. However, only if there is close liaison between departments at the field worker level will we work in harmony, and thus give children in need the benefit of our combined knowledge and experience. VACCINATION AND IMMUNISATION The number of vaccinations against smallpox performed during 1966 shows a marked increase over the previous year. 2,196 persons were vaccinated or re-vaccinated compared to 1,100 in 1965. This increase is due mainly to cases of smallpox occurring elsewhere in the country, and to the requirements of other countries abroad for travellers from the U.k. to be vaccinated. Vaccination against Smallpox Age at date of vaccination or re-vaccination Vaccinated Re-vaccinated Under 1 year 85 - 1 year 1, |
