ecf150f2-b3c7-4665-9e29-49c5f6361394 | An additional infant welfare session was instituted at Central Clinic, Barking on Wednesday mornings to cope with the patients transferring from the Upney area. Ante¬natal and Mothercraft talks by health visiting staff were undertaken at local clinics and after a break occasioned by lack of staff, close liaison resumed with the Maternity Department Barking Hospital in this connection. |

38ed3a8f-d9ab-4831-bb99-3efacc87a7a9 | Close liaison continued to be maintained between the departments at all levels and every effort was made to give these children the benefit of our combined knowledge and experience. VACCINATION AND IMMUNISATION Since the formation of the London Borough of Barking in 1965 it has been possible to compare the performance of our immunisation programmes with the national averages contained in the annual reports of the Chief Medical Officer of the Ministry of Health. The table below gives the percentage of children vaccinated with comparative figures for England and Wales. It is clear that our immunisation rates compare favourably with the national averages. |

0572486d-cfc6-4858-bd16-479b32aef461 | This has resulted in a dislocation in the continuity of the immunisation statistics and it will be noted that there is an apparent decrease in the number of children born in 1968 and 1969 who received their primary immunisation and their booster doses. This fall is in fact more apparent than real in that at the end of the year there were a large number of children who had completed a part of their schedule of immunisation and were awaiting further doses of vaccine at the time these figures were obtained and it will be at least a further year before any real evaluation can be made of the effect of the new Schedule on the total number of children who are brought forward for immunisation against infectious diseases. A factor of some concern to my Department is the difficulty in obtaining adequate acceptance of the final dose of tetanus and poliomyelitis vaccine which children should receive prior to leaving school. 37 VACCINATION AGAINST MEASLES The campaign to vaccinate the maximum number of children eligible for protection continued through the year 1969. |
aa85a73a-6f00-49d3-8b25-7d3714484f28 | Here again the withdrawal of a measles vaccine as a result of unacceptable reactions and the following adverse publicity did for some months have an effect on the number of children accepting vaccination against measles. However, this adverse publicity now appears to have receded and the up¬take of measles vaccination is gradually returning to its former level. During the year a total of 2,594 children were vaccinated against measles and further details are given in the following table. The effect on the incidence of measles continues to be satisfactory although there was an increase in the number of children notified. |

It will be noted that here again the new Schedule has brought about some changes in these statistics. |
2f70a4d8-3e25-4918-b10f-3bc561d4a45f | The number of children between the age of 5 and 15 years who have been vaccinated or re-vaccinated against smallpox has risen from 307 to 775. There has been an overall decline in the number of persons of all ages who were vaccinated against smallpox from 2,088 vaccinated in 1968 to 1,647 persons in 1969. This decline can be accounted for by the rigorous 38 enforcement of the recommendation that all children and their families who suffer from eczema or are likely to be contacts of an eczematous individual are excluded from the programme. All parents are notified of the contraindications in writing when an appointment is made for vaccination against smallpox. During the year there have been no complications attributable to smallpox vaccination in the Borough. |
dd97bef6-a109-4d3d-88d1-51023894db6d | While the decline in the total number of persons vaccinated may be undesirable, the continuing toll of complications attributed to the vaccination of individuals where a contra¬indication exists or where a vaccinated individual has through contact infected such an individual, continue to appear with monotonous regularity in the Annual Reports of the Chief Medical Officer of the Department of Health and Social Security, there can be no doubt that this policy of rigorous exclusion is undeniably necessary. |

VACCINATION B.C.G. vaccination is a safe and very effective method of protecting the individual against tuberculosis. Extensive trials in England and Wales have shown that it provides 80% protection against subsequent tuberculous infection. The protection is long lasting and remains substantial for 10 or more years after vaccination. During 1969 the use of an intradermal jet injector was evaluated in a survey of 500 children injected by this relatively new technique. |
9eca72ff-baf6-436b-8487-b24d3c47a472 | It was found that over 99% showed a conversion in tuberculin sensitivity as demonstrated by the appearance of a local reaction or by further Heaf testing. It is intended to use thi6 as the sole method of B.C.G. vaccination next year. If it is permitted to lift the veil of statistics we will be reporting a 29/<> increase in the total number of children accepting B.C.G. vaccination. During this year 1,261 children were given B.C.G. vaccine, an increase of 17 over 1968. 8l pupils had a grade 2 or more reaction to Heaf testing and were referred to the Consultant Chest Physician for further investigation. It is now our policy to vaccinate children showing Grade 1 response to Heaf testing as it is more than probable that their response to the Heaf test is due to mycobacteria other than tuberculosis. In addition 256 contacts of tuberculosis were vaccinated by the Chest Physician. |

Tuesday, & Thursday, 7.00 p.m. 8.30 p.m. 6.30 p.m. - 8.00 p.m. Thames View Clinic - Tuesday fortnightly 2.30 p.m. - 4.00 p.m. Owing to financial restriction it was not possible to expand the service to any degree, but progress was made by the commencement of a domiciliary family planning service, through the Association, for those special cases where attendance at a Clinic was not recommended or could not be achieved. |
0ec9f0f8-f427-4396-8b92-3765b39565e5 | 41 PREVENTION OF ILLNESS, CARE AND AFTER-CARE HOME NURSING This year has brought some changes in the Home Nursing field which should prove to be for the good of the service and patients. One big improvement occurred in March with the commencing of a bath attendant service. This has been a big boon to both the nursing staff and patients. Although there are four nursing attendants employed on a parttime basis it is hoped to increase the number next year. In September the closure of York House as a nurses' residence for which it was built and opened in 1932 by the Duchess of York, now the tiueen Mother, was a sad event. Five resident staff were accommodated in flats and an office was provided at the Civic Centre for administrative purposes. The number of nurses providing the service has remained the same as only a small number of vacancies occurred during the year. These were quickly filled. The training of nursing staff for district work has continued, though on a smaller scale. |
78831687-d026-4688-ad50-8fd3d1ff6692 | Three nurses took this course but all were successful and were placed on the establishment. The Marie Curie Day/Night Nursing Service has continued its invaluable work, but it is still regrettable that so few people are available to do this The need for Marie Curie nurses is irregular and because there is no retainin) fee, most people leave to find more regular employment. Statistics Total number of persons nursed during the year 1,949 Number of persons who were aged under 5 at first visit 12 Number of persons who were aged 65 or over at first visit 830 THE GUTHRIE TEST Phenylketonuria is a genetic disease which affects 1 in every 10,000 children born in England and Wales. The early diagnosis of this disorder is now a matter of urgency since it is now known that early dietary control will mean a child of normal or near normal intelligence and ability. Failure to diagnose this condition leads to a severely mentally handicapped child requiring a life¬time of special education and community care. |
c6e47b91-033f-45d1-885f-5b3e29f4dd06 | The introduction of the "Phenistix" test for phenylketonuria was an important step forward in the field of preventative mental health. There are, however, two disadvantages associated with this test, (i) It lacks sufficient sensitivity; (ii) a positive test might not be obtained until the 6th week of life. The Guthrie test requires a drop of blood taken on the 6th - 7th day of life. It is a very sensitive test for phenylketonuria and so far the rate of detection of cases approaches the known incidence of the disease. 42 Its chief disadvantage is that at present it detects only one of a number of metabolic disorders which lead to mental or physical handicap if not detected and suitably treated. The screening of babies by the Guthrie method commenced for all babies born at home in the Borough or at Rush Green Hospital on 1st May 1969. Babies born at Barking Hospital continued to be tested by the "Phenistix" method. |
55567d25-9afc-409c-91bd-eb27e7b554dd | REPORT OF THE GERIATRIC LIAISON OFFICER A greater understanding of Local Authority services for the elderly has I feel been of great help to the General Practitioners and hospital staff, thus enabling a continued and co-ordinated service on patients leaving hospital. Home assessment visits continued to advise on the care of the elderly and the follow¬up observation of patients discharged from hospital, these forming a major part of my work.

0d8d4c62-648f-49b8-928a-b2841b2c6ddd | Thirty one persons asked for a medical examination, but as two had been under investigation and/or had check¬ups at the same time in hospital, only twenty nine were examined. Some comparison with social and medical data of the previous year produced the following information. Ages ranged from 60 years to 78 years. The majority were between 66 and 70 years of age. The only 60 year old was a male, grossly over¬weight (40fc) edentulous, wearing no dentures, suffering from incipient Parkinsonism. 1968 1969 Total number examined 43 29 Hales 15 8 Females 28 21 Married and living together 28 15 Living alone.

NATIONAL ASSISTANCE ACT. |
f6ff4d5a-612b-444c-9d0e-d8957c42af50 | 1948 Section 47 During the year, it was not found necessary to remove any person from their home as being unable to care for themselves and not receiving adequate care and attention from others. This may be due in some measure to improved co¬ordination in the care of the elderly arising from the work of the Geriatric Liaison Officer. 44 HOME HELP SERVICE (1) GENERAL (a) There has been no change in the general pattern of organisation or administration. It has been necessary, of course, for financial reasons to keep the provision of service at a restricted level. (b) The week¬end emergency service arrangements continued to operate but the demand for service has been negligible. Due to a vacancy in establishment for almost 9 months of the year, organising staff have been "on call" 1 week¬end in 4, instead of as previously, 1 in 5 The question of compensatory leave for stand¬by duty remains unsettled. |
af00512a-f408-4436-ac6e-4d537a511a0b | (c) Routine visiting has not been carried out at the desired level due to:- (l) the almost continual vacancy for an Assistant Organiser. (11) the termination of duty of 2 clerks, July/August which necessitated the remaining Assistant Organiser becoming all but fully engaged on clerical duties. (d) With a view to overcoming this particular difficulty, coupled with the overall increase in case loads and deployment of labour, consideration is being given to some amendment of the staffing of the section. (2) CASE LOADS (a) Fluctuation from month to month continued, and throughout the year the following cases were served:- Aged (over 65 years) = 1731 Chronic Sick = 207 Mentally Disordered = 4 Maternity =16 Others 29 Total 1987 Requests received during the year = 997 Requests not acceded to during the year (for varying reasons) = 191 (b) Night Attendance provided for 2 cases only. |
5d7df812-6eb8-49b5-b33e-42d61707c45e | (3) RECRUITMENT OF LABOUR Recruitment of labour was restricted due to the overall need for economy. Wastage and replacement was as follows:- Terminations of employment = 105 (for varying reasons) Commencement of employment = 107 At the close of the year the labour force stood at 232 (4) TRAINING (a) Due to (i) overall economy, (ii) inadequacy of staff, no training for manual workers was carried out. (b) One Organiser and one Assistant Organiser attended London Boroughs Training Committee Seminars, one day per week for six consecutive weeks as follows:- 19th February - 26th March 1969 8th October - 26th November 1969 45 (5) SOCIAL ACTIVITIES Monthly meetings of the Social Club continue to be held at the Porters Avenue Day Centre on the first Wednesday of the month. The attendance at these meetings is not as good as was originally hoped for, and the value thereof is questionable. |
d0b6b162-93ba-4f56-bef2-e0ada4655725 | Various activities have taken place, and in particular a very successful party on the 7th May to commemorate 21 years of Home Help Service under the National Health Service Act of 1946. The response on this occasion was excellent, and the function was attended by several members of the Domiciliary and Nursing Sub¬Committee. REHOUSING ON MEDICAL GROUNDS As in previous years my Department has continued to act as advisor to the Housing Department where applicants have put forward medical grounds in their claims for rehousing. As almost half the cases require a visit from at least one and sometimes two or more members of staff as well as enquiries to hospital or family doctor, it will be seen from the statistics given below that this often difficult task continues to require a considerable amount of time from the staff of the Health Department. |
8158800d-3e3f-43d4-8834-b5d3e07bfe76 | Statistics Total number of applications 290 Number of families visited 104 Number recommended for rehousing 53 LOAN OF SICK-ROOM EQUIPMENT Patients being nursed at home may, on medical recommendation, be loaned a wide variety of equipment to assist in their care. Bulky items are delivered to patients' homes, smaller articles are collected from the health department by relatives. 2,444 articles were loaned during the year and 3,031 items were out on loan at the end of the year. In addition, 38,800 disposable pads for incontinent patients were issued. The disposal of these pads has not given rise to any major difficulty up to the present, although their increasing use may call for special arrangements in the future, particularly in smokeless zcnes and in centrally heated blocks of flats. Where patients have not been able to dispose of the pads, this has been arranged at the destructor plant. |
acbf65cf-5e0a-44b7-a907-5ced1427a075 | Following advice from the Ministry of Health in August 1966, the sick¬room equipment loan scheme was extended to include the provision of waterproof pants and knickers with disposable linings for incontinent people. During the year, 48 pairs of these garments were issued. MEDICAL EXAMINATION OF STAFF The medical invigilation of new entrants to the Council's service, and the review of cases absent from duty owing to illness continued during the year. Generally the physical condition of candidates for 46 appointment is satisfactory but it is noted that for certain occupations mainly of a seasonal nature, the majority of applicants are persons of pensionable age or those with permanent disabilities. This poses some difficulty in assessing their suitability for entry to the Council's sick pay scheme. During the year 993 health questionnaires were submitted for scrutiny. 629 candidates were approved without further enquiry and 47 were accepted after satisfactory reports had been received from general practitioners or hospital consultants. The following examinations were carried out:- No. |

During the year a further home was adapted - a Barking Corporation house - making a total of three patients having treatment in their own homes at the end of the year. 47 CHIROPODY SERVICE The Chief Chiropodist reports as follows:- Old Peoples Homes. This section continues to be a most satisfactory service, nicely managed by our part-time Chiropodist Mr. Fenton. Car Transport Service. |
b605c278-f7a5-4725-9190-a5d1084f8b1e | Based at Annie Prendergast Clinic, this service continues to provide great help to many handicapped old people, who would otherwise - due to our shortage of Domiciliary Chiropodists - not be able to receive treatment. With the assistance of Hiss K. Richards many handicapped old people are assisted to and from the Clinic. Louise Graham House. This Centre is one of our recent undertakings. Mrs. D. Mann is delegated to make regular visits, and to attend to any foot troubles reported. Domiciliary Service. Demands for this Service are extremely heavy, and our difficulties, due to the resignation of Mrs. Morgan, have greatly increased. However, we have been able to obtain the part-time services of Mr. Bunder and Mr. Lewis, which - plus our full-time staff Chiropodists doing a few extra sessions weekly - has enabled us to give attention to our most urgent cases. |
8330bd5e-4105-4740-a32b-17926e31191f | There is an urgent need for more staff in this rapidly growing section. Mrs. Morgan left us to go into training for the Teaching Profession, and we wish her the very best in her new career. She has kindly offered to come and help out when she is on vacation, for which we are very grateful. General Remarks. A new clinic was started at Oxlow Lane Clinic on the 29th September, and is being operated by Mrs. M. Goss, who joined our staff at this time on a full-time basis. This clinic was badly needed to provide chiropody service for the large number of people resident in the area between Ford Road Clinic and Annie Prendergast Clinic. Since opening this new clinic I find that many old people had not been having the necessary treatment due to the distance to their nearest clinic. A similar set of conditions exists in the Becontree Clinic area, and I hope that we may be able to consider the setting up of a foot clinic in this area quite soon. |
d774a4ef-8d58-421b-bfa2-c1962dea1059 | Finally. From reports and figures from the various sections of this service I am convinced that 1969 was one of the most outstanding years in our history, and I would short-list the following items in attempting to keep up - and even better this record. (1) Recruitment of staff (clinical and domiciliary) (2) The founding of a new Foot Clinic in the Becontree district. 48 CHIROPODY SERVICE TREATMENTS FOR THE YEAR 1969 CLINIC Children Adults Total Sessions -5yrs. 5-l6yrs.

We are again indebted to the Chest Clinic for their help and co-operation during the year. |

MASS MINIATURE X-RAY SERVICE A memorandum issued in December 1969 by the Department of Health and Social Security requested Regional Hospital Boards to consider in consultation with local authorities how the need for chest x-ray services in their regions could best be met in view of a proposal to discontinue this service and integrate the remaining units with hospital radiological departments. 50 Some 2,000 x-ray examinations are required annually to screen those members of staff of this authority who are in close contact with children or engaged in food handling and the Regional Hospital Board were advised of the Council's view that there should be no reduction in the service provided in this respect. Unit 6A of the Service visited the Borough twice during 1969. |

64505236-46e5-4eaa-bd53-196fe80a0832 | S. Fahmy who commenced duty as Psychiatric Adviser to the Borough in September 1969: Throughout the year two consultants sessions have been available to the Borough. Until 22nd September 1969 one locum consultant gave one session to the Children's Department and another gave one session to the Day Centre - thereafter the two sessions (Monday and Tuesdays) have been given by one Consultant. The Children's Department session was largely taken up by assessing children at Woodstock Reception Centre and attendance of case conferences Most of the children seen needed placements on account of home disruption or failure of fostering- some had school avoidance and/or truanting problems which were invariably a reflection of the disturbed home situation in earlier years. The second session was spent at the Day Centre offering support and advice to the staff and having clinical conferences on cases and problems presented by Mental Welfare Officers. These conferences highlighted occasional inco-ordination between decisions taken at Warley Hospital and difficulties of placements of some subnormal patients. |
2fd4538d-c1ab-42d7-9979-b2be2a439071 | Both sessions revealed to me one common feature which was the case load and the consequent confinement of work to crises situations. Meaningful case work that might have averted crises could not be done on account of under-staffing and frequent change of workers. The latter phenomenon discouraged all attempts at doing effective case work with individuals and families. It is not at all clear why there should be such frequent changes. One is driven to the conclusion that on account of the nationwide shortage of case workers some Boroughs tempt experienced personnel by extra pay or emoluments. In addition to these two sessions, some field workers - school teachers and Head-teachers were invited to clinical conferences held on Thursdays at the Child Guidance Clinic. This was a first step in establishing contact with various community agents. Further steps are contemplated, subject to approval and available time. The latter, I suggest, can be found in the Monday session by giving the Day Centre and the Mental Welfare Officers two hours. |
d4569c4b-447f-4b5b-9ebf-cb712368def0 | The third hour would be initially spent in my visits (for introductory purposes) to psychiatric clinics and the different establishments that deal with children - e.g. day nurseries, play groups, nursery schools, paediatric units etc. The next step would be starting seminars for one type of workers e.g. health visitors, nursery school staff, community workers or general practitioners etc., (whichever group shows greater readiness to attend). OSBORNE WORKSHOP, OSBORNE SQUARE, DAGENHAM. Arising out of a review of services for the mentally handicapped undertaken for the Mental Health Sub-Committee, it was decided to drop the title 'Sheltered Workshop' as this caused a certain amount of confusion to industrial users, and the premises from September, 1969 became known as the 'Osborne Workshop'. 53 The unit completed its first full year of operation during the year and has steadily consolidated its purpose of providing a more advanced work programme and trainees with an increasing variety of work. |
e99ae0a0-530c-4724-8511-1831d241235a | More sophisticated machinery was introduced, and a time clock was installed in the entrance hall to the Workshop. This enabled factory standards to be simulated greatly improving trainees acceptance of time keeping and resulting in a pay structure based on the trainees abilities being introduced. Sales of work dropped slightly but since acquiring knitting machines the sale of bobble hats has improved. Sales of trays have also risen. Contract work has now become the main source of activity. 30,000 leaflets were distributed and a contract for assembling 120,000 wig stands was completed ahead of schedule at an output of 9,000 per day. Another contract for electrical components involved the installation of a press and 31,000 items on this contract were completed during the year. Six trainees have either been placed in, or have found outside employment and apart from minor problems they have retained their jobs without undue difficulty. |
e03e2b53-fb22-4fb8-9b41-2636d6de0b1d | The staff and trainees have been very pleased to hear from them all on certain occasions and hope in the near future to see something of them when a proposed fortnightly social evening starts. During the year 3,423 attendances were made at the Workshop and at the end of the year 23 trainees were on the roll. The Workshop earned a total of £585 from its activities, and next year should see a substantial increase in earnings as the work programme gathers momentum. ADULT TRAINING CENTRE, GASCOIGNE ROAD, BARKING. The range of activities provided at the Centre continued to develop during 19&9, and a continuous effort made to find new work and to enlarge existing contracts. Groups of trainees were taken on visits to local factories to 6ee various industrial processes and to a Post Office Sorting Department to see the process of letters through various sorting machines. |
0de20512-79bd-4a9e-bd1e-45967a723108 | Outings were made to the Tower of London, Museums, Fishing Boats and Cockle Sheds at Leigh, and to a London Theatre. On many of these trips the trainees were taken by public transport and had meals in local restaurants. In May 80 trainees were taken to St. Mary's Bay for a week's holiday. Whilst there they had a flight on a hovercraft and enjoyed many other outings. In June trainees were taken by coach to Westminster Pier and then by boat to Hampton Court for tea. In September they went to Walton-on-Naze and visited various places of interest. A social evening for parents and trainees is held at the Centre every Monday with an average attendance of 150. A social on a Saturday evening is held approximately every six weeks. Our thanks are due to the staff of the Centre for their support of these activities. |
0a9eeb61-dca0-42a9-8316-de5e1814efed | During 1969, 19,6l8 attendances were made at the Centre and 108 trainees were on roll at the end of the year. The Centre earned a total of £1,450 from its activities. 54 WORK OF THE MENTAL WELFARE OFFICERS During the year 297 patients were referred to the mental health service. Mentally ill Mentally Sub-Normal Referred by general practitioners 42 1 Referred by hospitals on discharge 79 9 Referred by hospitals after or during out-patient or day treatment 39 1 Referred by Local Education Authority - l4 Referred by police and courts 2 - Referred by other sources, e.g. neighbours, relatives, Ministry of Social Security and other social and welfare agencies, inward transfers from other areas 96 14 258 39 In addition, 85 cases were referred by General Practitioners or Hospitals for assessment/social reports in connection with hospital admission. |

The flats were equipped and two tenants were installed by the end of the year, under the supervision of the mental welfare officers. |
8d895877-df0d-485f-9943-10366b2da4f6 | PORTERS AVENUE DAY CENTRE The Centre continued to make a real contribution to the support and rehabilitation of the mentally sick, in some cases reducing the frequency of admission to mental hospital and in others reducing the length of stay in hospital. 55 Although the Centre is deemed to have places for 30 people, this number has been exceeded and at the end of the year there were 36 names on the register and a waiting list of 16. Plans are being made for an extension to the Centre to provide more storage space and for an additional member of staff when financial conditions allow. A total of 9,766 attendances were made during the year. CASTLE SCHOOL The year commenced with 60 children on roll which included 6 children in Special Care. 8989 attendances were made during the year. During the year groups of children were taken out on visits of observation in conjunction with classroom projects and social training. |
8836c0fc-a401-4c8e-a6db-f1f918297cdb | Outings were made to the London Zoo, Brentwood Zoo and Thorpe Bay, Special Care children being included in the latter. Post Christmas excitement continued with a visit to the London Palladium to see "Jack and the Beanstalk". During the month of Kay 20 children went to Pontins Holiday Camp, which proved to be highly successful. During this holiday two boys gained swimming certificates. As in the past year the children put on a play for their parents. This was called Toyland and was performed at St. Margarets Hall. It was very well attended. The School Christmas party was its usual success. Open Day was in June and besides the very many parents and friends who came were the Rev. Cooper, Mrs. Wheeler and Dr. Beaver. Members of the Police Force kept in touch and Road Safety Sam put on a show which always delights the children. |
9625246b-658e-4e8c-bd7d-1f9ba3162b79 | Miss Delaforce, Speech Therapist, continued with her good work for one session a week and Dr. Burgess, School Medical Officer made regular inspections throughout the year. A number of children continued to receive weekly swimming instruction whilst most of the school participated in the weekly session of P.E. Both these events talking place at the South Essex Technical College. Visitors to the School were many and included, The Mayor of Hastings, Drs. Gillet, Batham and Beaver, Councillors Mrs. Engwell and Mrs. Ball, Mrs. Bellchamber and friends, Mr. Schiphorst from the Department of Health and Social Security, members of staff from Kingsley Hall and Nurses from Upney Hospital. Three students on Teacher Training Course at the Chiswick Polytechnic came for Teaching Practice, and boys and girls from the Eastbury School, on occasions, helped with the children. Staff:- Mrs. Thorogood attended a day release course on Special Care. |
7d0023af-0ca0-443f-a02b-8678e212dae3 | 56 Miss Baker, Mrs. Bohannon and Mrs. Hayden joined the Staff whilst we lost the services of Mrs. Measures, Mrs. MacKenzie and Mrs. Jenning. 1969 was a successful year inasmuch, slowly as it may have been, all the children made progress. HOLIDAY PLAY CENTRE To provide some relief to parents during the long summer holiday, a Day Holiday Play Centre was held at Castle School from Monday to Friday for the two weeks, l8th-29th August, 19&9. The supervision of the Centre was undertaken by a Trained Teacher of the Sub-normal and additional staff was recruited, including students of Teacher Training Colleges and mothers of the trainees. This Centre was attended by trainees-junior and adult-although some only attended for one week due to family holiday commitments. |
885b631d-2ed7-4f17-b05e-d89087050e44 | HOSTEL FOR THE MENTALLY SUB-NORMAL The first residential facilities for the mentally sub-normal in the community were provided during the year when on 17th March, 1969, Louise Graham House, was formally opened by Councillor Mrs. C. S. M. Godfrey, J.P. The building provides 24 places for mentally sub-normal adults and two staff flats. It is sited in the Gascoigne redevelopment area not far from the Adult Training Centre in Gascoigne Road so that residents may easily avail themselves of the training facilities provided in the Centre. The hostel offers a home to mentally handicapped persons without relatives, and temporary care for those whose parents are either recovering from illness or availing themselves of a short holiday. Louise Graham House is furnished to a high standard mainly through the efforts of voluntary workers and associations who have made substantial contributions to the furnishings and equipment. A plan of the accommodation is given on page 58. |
5a5146c5-d994-4fb7-b36c-1360373d4e33 | This building will not accommodate all those residents of the Borough who are in need of this type of care, and consideration is being given to the possibility of converting the York House Nurses Training Home to provide additional hostel accommodation if the proposal to discontinue its present use is approved. VOLUNTARY ASSOCIATIONS Annually the Borough Council makes a contribution to the local voluntary associations, viz. the Dagenham Association and the Barking Association for Mental Health. The Dagenham Association holds monthly meetings with speakers to stimulate a public interest in mental health and gives financial aid to the mentally ill within the Borough. They have also set up a preschool play group for the children of mentally-ill parents which operates 57 58 LOUISE GRAHAM HOUSE each morning at St. Elizabeth's Church Hall, Wood Lane, Dagenham. |
0f3fbc12-81de-4704-8f0b-af297a7710af | The Barking Association holds a weekly club for the mentally sub-normal and their relatives, arranges a Christmas party to which our trainees are invited, and ha6 a holiday bungalow at Clacton for selfcatering holidays for the families of the sub-normal. Towards the end of the year a new venture, a Psychiatric Social Club known as the "700 Club" was formed under the aegis of the Barking Association. It meets fortnightly at the Abbey Hall, Axe Street, Barking, under the guidance of Dr. M. I. Adamson. WESTFIELD PSYCHIATRIC SOCIAL CLUB This club meets on one evening per week at the Porters Avenue Day Centre to assist in the rehabilitation of the mentally ill under the guidance of the mental welfare officers. Unfortunately, owing to an acute shortage of mental welfare officers the club was temporarily discontinued in May 1969, but we hope it will recommence as soon as further staff have been recruited. |
d857cab8-3b9e-42aa-bc7f-c50a9c3385af | 59 SCHOOL HEALTH SERVICE There are 64 primary and 23 secondary schools in the Borough. We also have two special schools. The Bentry Special School caters for educationally sub-normal pupils, and Faircross Special School for delicate and physically handicapped pupils. In addition there is a unit for partially hearing pupils at Eastbury Infants School. At the end of the year, numbers on roll were as follows:- Primary schools 16,765 Secondary schools 11,280 Special schools 321 Total 28.366 SCHOOL CONSULTATIVE CLINICS Minor ailments sessions at which a doctor was present were held at the following clinics:- Annie Prendergast Friday a.m. Becontree Avenue Monday and Thursday a.m. Central Monday, Tuesday and Thursday 9-9.30 a.m. Five Elms Monday p.m., Friday a.m. Ford Road Monday a.m., Friday a.m. Julia Engwell Monday to Friday 9-9.30 a.m. Leys Monday p.m. |

c827f755-0019-4da6-89f5-1829521f9490 | Closer co-operation between Speech Therapy and other professions in the school clinics was evident. The Head Teachers continued to give valuable help on visits to the schools and they were able to provide useful information on some of the children requiring treatment. Speech Therapy sessions were carried out at Faircross Physically Handicapped School, Bentry, E.S.N. School, and the Junior Training Centre and the co-operation of the staff in these Special Schools was appreciated. There were three full time Speech Therapists in the Borough for the first six months of 1969 and all children requiring Speech Therapy were able to be treated at their local clinic. Unfortunately Miss Heath left the Borough in July to work in a hospital and Central Clinic had no Speech Therapist for the remainder of the year.

7d0de473-750c-4b84-bab5-02e1a439b55a | Fahmy commenced duty in September, 1969. I am indebted to him for the following report:- As I took over the psychiatric service of the clinic on 22.9.69 this report will be a second hand account of the work done in the first 9 months and my experience in the last three. The clinic is very adequately staffed for educational services (three educational psychologists and five remedial teachers), very poorly staffed for psychiatric services (2 locum consultants providing four and one sessions per week respectively in first 9 months and later one consultant appointed for nine sessions per week with no assistants nor auxiliary staff) and under-staffed on the secretarial side. The following table covering the 4 quarters of the year should give an idea about the size of the demand for and the call on psychiatric service. The largest number of referrals has come from schools, a great number of which are children from disturbed or broken homes with histories of early psychological traumata which have never properly healed. |
6da2a7e7-bd52-4df9-bbfe-134969bdbda6 | Indeed in many cases very serious early deprivations have left an imprint that can never be erased by any available treatment. An equal number of problems are treatable if auxiliary staff (child therapists, psychiatric social workers and case workers) and time were available. As it happened, no consultant (past or present) could offer regular interviews of adequate duration at weekly or fortnightly intervals, and thus very little psychodynamic changes could take place. The natural process of emotional maturation was bound to be hampered in some children and many would grow into neurotic adults with varying degrees of character disorders. Another result of the inadequacy of the services provided was the chronicity of the disturbances-cases had to be left on the books for years with little significant progress. This in turn increased demands on the consultant's time, creating the problem of the waiting list (for consultations and treatment) and reducing the value of the help that can theoretically be offered to children and their families. |
0d435ca4-5c6a-44fa-8519-971088df02c7 | All these difficulties were somewhat ameliorated by the very ready and eager co-operation of the educational psychologists, the remedial teachers and social workers in the community e.g. the Children's Department and Mental Welfare Officers. However, the social workers were found to be quite overloaded with problem families and this overload created similar difficulties to those experienced in this clinic. Another help was given through the co-operation of the Special Services for boarding some children, Dr. Little of Whipps Cross Hospital who accepted many of the children referred and the E.E.G. Department at Goodmayes Hospital. Co-operation of all these agents has helped me in reducing the waiting period for first consultations from 7 months to 2. However, the quantity of the demands on my time has not yet enabled me to start active therapy on any one case. My work was thus limited to dynamically oriented counselling of parents which did help the few who were eager, insightful, ready to accept some unpalatable truths and change their attitude. |
786ba300-cc8c-40b4-9703-785e43b8c72b | I plan to set aside a few hours per week for child treatment even though this is bound to lengthen waiting intervals between referrals and first interviews. To improve the situation I suggest increasing the psychiatric establishment by adding one experienced psychiatric social worker, one experienced family case worker, one therapist and a psychiatric registrar. If and when this additional staff becomes available some of the consultant's 65 time would be freed for helping the different field workers and establishing contact with the paediatric units in the Borough since physical illness and hospitalisations are known to be important traumas in early childhood. In addition a day school for maladjusted children could be of great benefit and might conceivably reduce the need for boarding. As can be seen from the figures, relatively few adolescents and under fives are referred, although these are known to be crucial developmental crises times and relatively small help at such times could avert serious and chronic disturbances. |
eebcf581-ab99-4675-ae14-69c99888c6e4 | It is not easy to explain this phenomenon-it may well be due to lack of awareness on the part of the referring agents or due to the inevitable discouragement of the waiting list in this clinic or a combination of the two reasons and other unknown factors. On the secretarial side I can only state that without the everready, willing co-operation of the staff and the efficient, conscientious, alert, active hard work of the senior secretary, a large part of the work could not have been achieved. |

354392d5-b8dc-44fe-a06b-8d20087ecddb | On the academic side we received passes in the examinations of the Associated Board of Music, the Royal Society of Arts Commercial Certificates, the East Anglian Examinations Board Certificate of Secondary Examination, Grade I, in Art and Craft, Typewriting and Shorthand. Swimming prowess improves, and several children gained high awards of the Amateur Swimming Association, the Swimming Teachers Association, the Royal Life Saving Society, Bronze, Silver and Gold Medals were awarded for the Personal Survival Tests. Our population of children handicapped by Spina Bifida increased twofold, and we doubled our intake of children handicapped by Spastic Quadriplegia. This increased the pressure of work on our Physiotherapists, Mrs. Walker and Mrs. Lawrence, to whom we are very indebted. The School Journey to Broadstairs in May 1969 was very successful. Hotel accommodation was first class. Educational visits for the week included Dover Castle, Richborough, Canterbury Cathedral. |
b3f3b1ae-5e21-416f-88f1-7a62a2ca9920 | The Centre for the 1970 School Journey is Swanage Dorset. Christmas activities included a performance of "Cinderella" given to parents and friends on the 15th and l6th December 1969. This was full scale musical production, and the tremendous amount of work put into it by both children and staff was much appreciated by the audience. A day's entertainment of the senior citizens from the Almshouses in which a dinner was cooked and provided by the children was much appreciated. The children's generosity was such that additional presents were given to the visitors. I feel very proud of the children for this unselfish thought." I am also grateful to the Senior Physiotherapist, Mrs. A.D. Walker for the following report on her work at the school during the year:- "In 1969 we had 36 children on the list for treatment, each child to attend two or three times a week. |
fb6e1ebb-d862-436e-93aa-3e2fe93219d3 | They can be grouped under the following diagnoses:- (a) 9 Spina Bifida 3 boys 6 girls 7 have Hydrocephalus, 2 have long calipers and 7 have pelvic bands. They all walk with two clumpers. 1 walking with one stick. 1 walking without aid. (b) 12 Spasties 10 boys 2 girls 9 walking without help. 2 walking short distances with a rolater. 1 not walking. 67 (c) 10 Asthma 7 boys 3 girls 7 frequent severe asthma attacks 3 moderately severe to mild asthma. (d) 2 Poliomyelitis 1 boy 1 girl 1 permanently in a wheelchair. 1 walking with elbow crutches and one long caliper. (e) 3 Muscular Dystrophy 1 boy 2 girls The Spina Bifidas are by far the most time-consuming. |
a68a5d98-6755-40d2-99fe-97e2036a095c | During treatment calipers have to come off, contractures controlled, followed by extensive trunk and arm exercises to make them strong enough for walking. Then calipers have to be replaced and walking exercises commenced. As twelve of the children in groups (a) and (b) were from the Infant Class, fifty-per-cent, of valuable treatment time was spent in dressing and undressing, putting calipers on and taking them off. As far as the Hydrotherapy is concerned we have not been able to use it as much as we would have like, due to lack of ancillary help. Without help we can only manage one, sometimes two, children per session, whereas, we ought to be able to do four. One full-time physiotherapist and one part-time doing two days a week is the complete staff. An unqualified helper to do all the dressing and generally help would be very much appreciated. |
a64550a9-bb11-4c2d-8861-bcfd2b0284ae | During 1969 it has proved extremely valuable to attend hospital with certain children when they have had their "check-ups" and discuss any problems with the doctor. Good contacts both in other physiotherapy departments and with doctors have been established in this way, and we hope to keep it up in 1970. Unfortunately, the school no longer have a speech therapist and we have approximately twelve children in need of speech therapy. I would like to take this opportunity to express my thanks to the School and the Principal School Medical Officer for the co-operation they have given me in 1969-" BEUTRY SCHOOL I have received the following report from Mr. Hurton the Headmaster:- "The number of children on the School Roll shows little variation from last year despite the fact that we now have a team of Educational Psychologists. The retesting of pupils is causing me some concern as some have not been tested since their admission five to six years ago. |
d2d79a9d-fc50-4bfe-9c09-9a978ba5aa4d | I hope that consideration will be given to an Educational Psychologist being attached to the school for one day a week. The Speech Therapist, Miss Delaforce visits the school on Thursday mornings and Mrs. Savage, the audiometrician comes on Thursday afternoons; and we are very grateful for their efforts. Dr. Fitzpatrick visits school every Wednesday morning and we greatly appreciate her interest in the school, and the help given by Nurse Hogg. We are grateful too for the interest they 68 show in our school functions which they attend regularly. The visit to Hainault Camp is now an established feature of our School life and the venture has proved extremely successful. For the first time a mixed party visited the outdoor pursuits course at Trewern near Hereford. The two members of the Staff who were in charge, Mr. Cossins and Mrs. Hutchins, brought back a very good report of the children. |
5b87829c-12f0-4ec1-9d3e-94a04e335739 | The programme of factory visits, talks and films for the Senior pupils during the last year at school is re-enforced by visits of the Youth Employment Officer, Mr. Lobley. This ensures that by the time the pupils leave school suitable jobs have been secured for them. Twenty six children left school during the year, including two who were found to be above Educationally Sub-normal range and thus allowed to leave at Fifteen years. Two children went to the Training Centre. No progress has been made with regard to the Work Experience Unit. The premises promised us at the Charlecote Day Continuation Centre were not made available. The school participated, as usual in each section of the Barking Schools' Festivals. This time we entered in both the Junior and Senior School sections. Our Drama work this year culminated in the production of our first pantomime. There were three evening performances and over 300 parents, colleagues and friends attended. They were lavish in their praise of our efforts. |
d65e80a1-5a5a-40a8-89b7-232262e5aacd | The pantomime was written and produced by Mr. C. M. Hughes our Deputy Head. The School Youth Club is now formally established and has thirty-four members. At the Christmas Party the Cabaret Show given by the girls was organised by Mrs. Pass, who joined the Staff in September. The proposed new Bentry School should be commenced in 1970 and I hope that will include all the facilities such as showers, separate Dining Hall, etc., which are essential for our children. |

The percentage of the school roll inspected in 1969 was 73% compared with 56% in 1968 and 47% in 1967. |
3832422e-89b7-4696-af28-17e0e98cc3e0 | The number of patients treated showed a decrease of 666 compared with 1968. CONSERVATION AND ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT Once again I am happy to report that the trend to save teeth rather than extract them is on the increase. The amount of orthodontic treatment carried out during the year has been very satisfactory, and shows an increase of 25% in cases completed compared with 1968. DENTAL HEALTH EDUCATION Once again I would like to say that the dental staff as individuals, did an excellent job of work in this very important field of every-day dental work; talks by our dental auxiliaries were given to various junior and infant schools. While all this is a step in the right direction, I feel that a co-ordinated health education programme in association with the individual effort is essential. The nursing staff and health visitors have also helped in this field of dental work during the year 1969. |
d22f651d-0dc9-48c1-820b-9c934c858d4c | STAFFING We began the year 1969 without dental auxiliaries due to one marrying and going to South Africa and the other going into hospital work; in midFebruary we recruited one replacement and in June another. However, we only had full establishment until November when one had to leave for health reasons. Advertisements for Dental Officers in the British Dental Journal did not bring forth any satisfactory applicants. I would like once again to thank the Dental Staff for their hard work in 1969 with special mention of the increased number of school inspections. MATERNITY AND CHILD WELFARE DETITAL SERVICES Treatment was available at all Dental Clinics in the Borough for expectant and nursing mothers and children under five years old. The figures for treatment for under fives is very satisfactory despite the fact that our staff of Dental Auxiliaries was rather reduced during the year. GENERAL COMMENTS The year 1969 was a very successful year from a dental point of view. |
2b5e291b-b86a-4a5c-bd06-6424674a1173 | I gratefully appreciate the co-operation from Head Teachers and teachers in schools where dental inspections were carried out. 72 DENTAL SERVICE STATISTICS Sessions (½days) worked 1.

During the year 14 bacteriological and 11 chemical samples were taken from the Company's mains in the borough; all were satisfactory. The water does not have any plumbo-solvent properties and no action was called for in respect of any form of contamination. There is a piped supply inside all houses. |
8142f78e-5972-4eea-af4d-32beb166d72a | During the year the total length of new mains laid was 2,812 yards and 768 new supplies were connected. 74 The General Manager and Chief Engineer of the South Essex Waterworks Company has furnished the following report:- "Bacteriological and chemical examinations are made of the raw water, of the water in its various stages of treatment, and the water going into supply. A total exceeding 10,000 chemical, bacteriological and biological examinations have been made and all water going into supply was wholesome. Analyses have also been made of samples obtained from consumers' taps in the various parts of the Company's district, including that of your Council, and all proved to be satisfactory. SEWAGE AND SEWERAGE DISPOSAL I am indebted to the Borough Engineer and Surveyor who has supplied the following information:- "The drainage systems of the Borough function adequately, although infiltration at times of high intensity storms causes difficulties in isolated instances. |
7188d716-025d-419a-839a-f5d1ce07a3d6 | Improvements to the Dagenham trunk foul systems are at present under construction and progressive improvement can be expected as the work proceeds with eventual solution upon completion of the contract in April, 1971- Allied with the recent completion of the Riverside Sewage Works the foul drainage system for the Eastern sector of the Borough will cater for present flows and will contain some spare capacity for future requirements. Drainage improvements in the Western sector of the Borough are concentrated in the Barking Central Area. Work is at present at the design stage with implementation scheduled in 1972, giving relief to both surface water and soil systems and incorporating a pumping station and new outfall into the River Roding." SWIMMING BATHS There are three open air and one indoor public swimming pools in the Borough. In addition there is a pool at the Regional College of Technology and four of the schools are provided with small pools. All swimming pools take their water from the mains of the South Essex Waterworks Company. |
f7b517bc-100a-4578-a807-ce3830d7dc46 | Regular samples have been taken during the year and all results were satisfactory with the exception of two where the chlorine content was higher than considered necessary. Advice was given in these cases and no further trouble was experienced. HOUSING Slum Clearance During the year three Clearance Areas were the subject of Official Representation to the Council. The total number of houses included as unfit dwellings in the three areas was 253. Included in this figure are 219 dwellings in the Gascoigne Ward which comprise the final stage of the Council's scheme for the redevelopment of an area containing over 2,000 houses. 75 In addition to the above, 3 individual dwelling houses were represented to the Council as unfit for human habitation. Undertakings not to relet premises upon the tenants being rehoused were received in two of these cases. Two Compulsory Purchase Orders comprising unfit houses were confirmed by the Minister without modification, no objections to the Orders having been received. |
d6db0f2e-6d73-414e-9324-5ef2235089fc | On the 5th May 1969 a Public Enquiry was held to determine one outstanding objection to the Gascoigne Road (No. 7) Compulsory Purchase Order which included 6l unfit dwellings. The Order was subsequently confirmed by the Minister without modification. Rent Act, 1957 10 Applications were received from tenants during the year. In no case did the Council refuse to issue a Certificate of Disrepair. Undertakings to do the work were given by landlords in respect of seven properties. Two Certificates of Disrepair were issued and one objection was received from a tenant to the Cancellation of the Certificate of Disrepair. As in past years, advice was given to tenants and they were able to obtain the necessary forms at the Civic Centre. |
f95e9b7e-31a7-4f15-9395-40cacbca885e | Housing Act, 1969 Between the end of August and 31st December applications for Qualification Certificates under the provisions of this Act numbered 93» Upon receipt of an application a detailed inspection of the dwelling is carried out by the public health inspector when all defects, having regard to the 'Age, Character and Locality' of the dwelling, are noted, together with lacking amenities. In the 93 cases investigated only three houses were found to qualify which is a disappointingly low number reflecting the lack of regular maintenance throughout the years. Improvement and Conversion Grants During August the eagerly awaited Housing Act, 1969 came into operation. This Act made important changes in the law relating to Improvement Grants. The greatest impact stemmed from the vastly increased grants maxima, together with the important extension of grant aid to cover, in many cases, repair. The emphasis in the new grant system was greater flexibility and discretion aimed at encouraging more people to improve their houses. |
94707cfb-2be3-43e5-85e2-d7cd325dfe5e | Persuasion was paramount and, especially in Improvement Areas, generosity when assessing an applicant's proposals could encourage other owners to follow the lead of the first few. Before the Act came into operation suitable areas were defined and a comprehensive Improvement Programme was submitted to and adopted by the Council. This programme included both privately owned and municipal estates and detailed surveys of properties in two pilot schemes, one private and one corporation, were commenced. 76 Many owners became aware of the proposed increases and extensions to improvement grants and tended to delay making their applications in order to benefit from the new provisions. As a result, the number of grants dealt with during the year shows a reduction. However, enquiries concerning the new provisions showed an increasing enthusiasm among owners and provided the basis for confidence that a comprehensive programme of Improvement Areas could succeed. |
cc9760cc-b0fe-4801-8832-003d20f2b78d | Systematic Area Improvement, together with a determined effort to root out all unfit properties could result, in but a few years, in the disappearance of the obsolescent dwelling lacking the amenities which were considered luxuries in time gone by, but have now become recognised as essential to a comfortable and healthy life. The Public Health Inspector has a vital role to play in this bold attempt to solve a difficult and long-standing problem. With his intimate knowledge of housing conditions he can, with little difficulty, identify suitable areas. In the detailed inspection work which must precede the declaration of an Improvement Area he is able to make the often, critical judgement of properties which merit either improvement or demolition. Drawing on his experience of close relations with the public he is able to discuss the merits of improvement and emphasise the benefits to be derived from improved living standards, a more pleasant neighbourhood, the security of at least thirty years life for the houses and the increased values of individual dwellings. |
282a42ca-712f-436e-aef8-b1ce1ca5f5d8 | Houses in Multiple Occupation 177 visits were paid to these properties during the year. No marked difficulty has arisen during the year and multiple occupation has shown no rapid increase. This may be attributed to the lack of houses of sufficient size in the Borough. All known houses were visited during the year and, where necessary, works have been carried out under supervision to bring them up to standard. In many cases the language barrier has proved the most difficult aspect and it seems, even with a drive in education, this problem will remain for some considerable time. There are no Common Lodging Houses in the Borough. Tents, Vans and Sheds 54 visits have been made by my staff, and although there continues to be a decrease the problem is still one which needs constant surveillance. Occupiers of houses are quick to complain should van dwellers encamp on land close to their homes. |
08e5e31c-adaa-411e-bb97-289c3fd687e7 | It has been found that complaints are fully justified in that a vacant site quickly deteriorates into a filthy, refusestrewn quagmire when occupied by such persons. Action under the nuisance sections of the Public Health Act, 1936 is difficult to envoke as one can never identify the person by whose act or default the nuisance has arisen. 77 LAUNDRY SERVICE The service continues with a once weekly collection. The department's drivers and the laundry staff at the Chadwell Heath Hospital are very co-operative and they ensure that the service is operating in a satisfactory manner. An average of 35 cases used the service at any any one time, which shows a slight decrease on last year's figure of 40. During the year 224 visits were paid to premises as a result of complaints of noise. This indicates a slight rise on last year thus continuing the trend towards "noise consciousness" by residents. |
c3d997a5-6daf-40b2-88e9-695a085731a2 | Complaints were varied in nature and included noise from building sites, machinery in a bakery, wood cutting apparatus and from machinery used in the supply and purification of water in a swimming pool. The work is time consuming and night visits are often required as sounds which are lost in the general background levels in day time become prominent during the hours of darkness when these levels reduce. In all cases the owners of plants showed a willingness to co-operate and carry out works to minimise the cause of complaint. It is the policy of the department to deal with all complaints of noise in a formal manner. Informal action can result in a reduction of the nuisance to a level where legal action might fail, while the complainant is still affected and dissatisfied with the action taken. Once again I regret to report that no progress was made in respect of smoke control areas. The Council still felt that the extension of smoke control areas in the Borough must be deferred due to the continued financial crisis. |
