c0d275ee-ce40-4e73-9198-9ce74ddc35f0 | Industry has continued to play its part in the general improvement and this is demonstrated in that 106 smoke observations were carried out during the year resulting in only two contraventions. One contravention was due to an alarm system which had broken down; this was replaced and conditions were subsequently satisfactory. The second contravention involved car seats and rubber being burned; legal proceedings were taken and a fine imposed. The Council continue to take part in the National Survey on Air Pollution and take readings at the eight stations in the Borough. The readings are transferred to the Ministry for their use. During the summer a complaint was received regarding an emission of offensive fumes from a premises manufacturing fertiliser. Investigation found the Fire Brigade and Police in attendance and the situation well in hand. The incident, which provoked comment in local newspapers, has not been satisfactorily explained, but appears to have been the result of spontaneous heat generation in a large heap of newly prepared fertiliser. |

Welchii type A were identified in a portion of cooked steak from a canteen meal. 89 Typhoid Fever On the 8th August, 1969 a Hornchurch man who had been working in an Hotel in Tangier returned to Barking with his mother, father, sister and younger brother who had been to the hotel on holiday. He had a temperature and had been ill since the 10th July, 1969. On the 9th August he reported to his Local General Practitioner who found his condition satisfactory. On the 10th August this man returned to his own flat in Hornchurch which he shared with two friends. |
60c5a9b6-0854-4397-99cd-c510097948be | On the 17th August his mother found him ill when she paid a visit to the flat, and she persuaded him to return to the family's home. On the l8th August his General Practitioner, finding no obvious symptoms, decided to send him for tests at a local hospital. On the 24th August the hospital tests proved positive - Salmonella Typhi, and the General Practitioner ordered immediate hospital isolation. The emergency system brought the assistant Medical Officer of Health and the Deputy Chief Public Inspector to the hospital within an hour and all persons at risk were investigated. Tracing of contacts was an enormous job involving hundreds of holidaymakers who visited the hotel in Tangier, the passengers on the homecoming journey, in addition to family, friends, home contacts and neighbours, one of whom worked in an ice cream factory. No secondary case was notified which may be due to luck and the patient's high standard of personal hygiene. |
6ca18681-f705-42f2-ac9b-15ddfbea6c14 | While all aspects of a thorough investigation were quickly put in hand, it is alarming to record that several frustrating delays were encountered in the tracing of contacts. The names and addresses of persons staying at the hotel in Tangier during the risk period were not readily available although they comprised organised tours run by a large British Company. This Company could only supply the names of the holidaymakers and the Travel Agents who had booked the holiday. As a result, the department had to contact more than one hundred Travel Agents all over the country by letter and telephone to obtain the home addresses of these clients. To add to this difficulty it was found that some Travel Agents were very reluctant to disclose the necessary information even when the urgency of the situation was explained. Delay was again experienced when the air-line whose aircraft ferried the patient to Heathrow was asked for details of the other passengers on the flight. No list was available in this country and a time-consuming telex was made to Morocco to obtain the information. |
3c79e518-79aa-4f4b-a033-4cfe9c1628a1 | This is most unsatisfactory and could have resulted in a very serious and widespread outbreak. Since more and more people are now taking holidays abroad the time has come for a thorough re-appraisal of the situation. Information concerning holidaymakers who have had contact with a confirmed case of infectious disease abroad should be readily available to Health Authorities where speedy action is vital. 90 |

It is my pleasure to present to you my Annual Report for the year 1970. In many ways this year will be a landmark in the history of your Health Department. There have been two major staff changes during the course of the year. Miss Long, Superintendent Health Visitor retired and her successor Miss C. Oldham was appointed Chief Nursing Officer and Superintendent Health Visitor. We welcomed also to our staff Miss Lambert, Consultant in Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Barking Hospital who will now act as Medical Supervisor of Midwives for the Borough. The health of the population is often reflected in the Vital Statistics. |
c5e5626d-c4da-4ea8-a2b1-e8fa5572b362 | The live birth rate of 13.27 per thousand is well below that for England and Wales. The infant mortality at 12.26 per thousand live births is the lowest recorded in the Borough's five years of existence. The causes of death in the Borough continue to reflect the current spate of death and disease associated with smoking. There were 152 deaths from lung cancer, 363 deaths due to coronary heart disease and 112 deaths due to bronchitis and asthma. It is obvious that much work remains to be done in the field of health education in this area if these unnecessary deaths are to be prevented in the years to come. The Health Education Service continues to fulfil an important role in the work of the Department with an increasing demand for its services in the newly formed comprehensive schools of the Borough. This section is also playing an important part in the Cervical Cytology Campaign which has been initiated this year to increase the number of women living and working in the Borough who are screened by this test. |
e3a6e1ca-b48a-4a58-a584-1360c4917cf4 | The Kingsley Hall Assessment Centre has now been functioning for eleven years and an opportunity has been taken to describe this Centre in greater detail. Included in this report is a statistical survey of the work of the Centre. This Assessment Centre continues to be a pioneering project which has no equal in other Boroughs. Among the developments this year in the field of immunisation is the commencement of rubella immunisation in girls aged 11-14. The campaign commenced in November and by the end of the year 141 girls had been immunised. The campaign to protect children against measles has also continued and the bulk of children now being immunised are under 4 years of age. Previous reports have described the introduction of the Dermojet for administering B.C.G. vaccination to school children. There has been a further increase in the number of children accepting this valuable protective measure. This year 1,664 children were vaccinated, representing an increase of 403 over the previous year. |
67764eb3-8f40-4d0b-a67f-6e60719ada98 | In the field of environmental health the Department has continued its work and several improvement areas have been initiated to improve the housing standards of residents in the Borough. Measures to maintain a high standard 14 of food hygiene have continued apace. The Chief Public Health Inspector's report describes the occurrence of an outbreak of food poisoning in the maternity unit of Rush Green Hospital. In the field of mental health this year saw the opening of the new Castle School in June 1970. This purpose built Junior Training Centre will continue to provide a valuable service to the mentally handicapped children of this Borough long after its transfer to the educational system in April 1971. The Child Guidance Clinic has continued to operate but here again staff shortages have hampered the work of this service which is of such importance. Only by the prompt application of corrective measures to deal with the root causes of the problem will we be able to prevent disturbed children growing up to be disturbed adults who create further disturbed families in their turn. The Borough has now been in existence for some five years. |
d990109b-ddc6-4e10-b3b5-1671421abc98 | During this period the Health Department with the support of the Health Committee has built up a Mental Health Service which bears favourable comparison with other Boroughs in the area. These years have seen the opening of new Junior and Adult Training Centres, a Sheltered Workshop for the mentally handicapped, a Day Centre for the mentally ill and the use of maisonettes for the community care of the mentally ill. These projects have consumed a major slice of the Health Department's financial resources. In providing an up to date service progress in other areas has had to be restricted. This is the last year that the statistics for the Mental Health Service, the Home Help Service and the Day Care of pre-school children, will appear in the Annual Reports of the Medical Officer of Health and I would like to take the opportunity of thanking Mrs. Dixon and her team, Mrs. Everitt and her home helps, the Matrons and staff of the nurseries, and finally Mr. Ruff for the many years of valuable service they have given as members of the Health Department. |
f05bdbce-2a45-4361-a595-b2e6661bd1e8 | They will shortly be leaving us for the Social Service Department in the year to come, and we wish them well in the new Department. For those who will continue in my Department the future holds out the prospect of change and uncertainty. I have every confidence in their ability to make change into opportunity as we progress together towards a reorganised Health Service in 1974. J. ADRIAN GILLET Medical Officer of Health. 15 VITAL STATISTICS 1970 Registrar General's estimate of resident population, mid-year 1970: 166,060 Live Births: Legitimate (1,033 male, 1,029 female) 2,062 Illegitimate ( 67 male, 73 female) 140 Total (1,100 male, 1,102 female) 2,202 Illegitimate live births per cent of total 6.40 Live birth rate per 1,000 population 13.27 Live birth rate adjusted by comparability factor of 1.04 13. |

It will be interesting to learn what the actual figure is from the Census taken in 1971 when the Census Report is published. Infant mortality rates for the Borough compare well with national averages. The infant death rate of 12.26 is well below that for England and Wales of 18.0 and for Greater London of 17.8. |

HEALTH EDUCATION It was with a mixture of regret and pleasure that we learnt that the Health Education Officer, Mr. G.S. |
eb317084-fe3e-4eb7-8c1e-1c95d5c312e8 | Self, was resigning at the beginning of December 1969; regret at his leaving the Section, and pleasure in the knowledge that he had been appointed as Manager, Health Education and Hygiene, by the Forte Food Group. I would like to take this opportunity of thanking him for all his hard work in the past. Miss D.J. Milbank was appointed as Health Education Officer in April, and we welcomed to the team, Mrs. P. Kasim, a former Physical Education Lecturer, as Assistant Health Education Officer, in September 1970. In spite of all staff changes, it was pleasing to note that the demand for health education increased in the Borough during the year, this demand was offset to some extent by the majority of school staffs taking over most of the health education programmes in schools, with specialised talks only, given by the Health Education staff. The demand for visual aids therefore, increased considerably and I am pleased to report that this demand has been met. |
57555b7f-573e-4d7e-903b-bd817fb40f62 | I would like to thank all Head Teachers and other staff concerned with these programmes. Unfortunately, again this year, financial restrictions have prevented the post of the second Assistant Health Education Officer being filled. Health Education in Schools. The most noticeable change in health education in schools has occurred since the introduction of comprehensive education, since when, the demand for specialised health topics has increased considerably, and at the present moment six of the nine comprehensive schools have received short series of talks by staff of the Health Education Section. The General Studies Department of Rush Green College again asked for help with their health education programme to both day and block release students, and a series of talks and film shows were given to six different groups of engineering, electrical and printing students. The Child Care Course for the basic certificate of the National Association for Maternal and Child Welfare again proved popular, no less than eight separate oral examinations being held in the Borough; the results of these examinations were most satisfactory and several of the girls gained the highest level award. Food Hygiene Education. |
3d3622cc-772c-4983-8ee5-8ef701cf15f8 | The routine Certificate and Diploma Courses run in conjunction with Rush Green College have again this year proved worthwhile, the lectures being given by a Public Health Inspector and other members of the Health Department. The examination results were most pleasing, 100 per cent pass in the Certificate Course and eighteen out of twenty two candidates were successful in the Diploma Course. 23 In-Service Training and Use of Health Education Centre. A short two session in-service course on "Teaching Hygiene and Use of Visual Aids Available" was given for the staff of Barking Training Centre during the first half of the year at the Health Education Centre at Gale Street. Other in-service courses have unfortunately had to be curtailed, as have visits to the Centre by various schools, owing to the continuous vandalism since the demolition of the surrounding prefabs. Home Safety. Continued support was given to the work of the Greater London Home Safety Council, a representative being present at the meetings and also at the National Home Safety Conference of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents. |
e4a1f06d-5717-4294-95fa-452f0c112f4e | The topic is of course included in school health education programmes, and the Health Education Officer was asked to judge the home safety oral examination for the Girls Brigade and to present the Club Trophy to the winning team in April. Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme. Eleven separate oral examinations at various levels of Home Safety were held in the Borough during the year and the Health Education Officer was very proud and had great pleasure in accepting the invitation sent to her, to be present at Cambell Youth Club, when H.R.H. Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, visited last November. Visitors. Visitors to the Section included two Midwifery Tutor Students, and a student from London University, Institute of Education, who was taking the Content and Methods of Health Education Diploma Course, for two weeks field instruction. Films and Film Making. The film on the "Dental Auxiliary" was completed in July, the actual photography being carried out by the Photographic Department of the then Regional College. |
0dcd88fc-61db-40cd-bbda-0a290d37569e | The demand for films for use in schools, clinics, clubs and organisations etc., increased during this year, and one film in particular had to be renewed. In all 222 films were lent by the section and it is envisaged that this demand will go on increasing during 1971. Displays and Exhibitions. The theme of the Health Department's exhibition at the Town Show this year was on one aspect of Water Safety. Once again the weather was good and the exhibition was well attended. The staffs of both Barking and Rush Green Hospitals invited the Department to provide displays in the foyers of both Maternity Wings; the topics so far displayed have been "Protection against Burns and Scalds", 24 "Immunisation and Vaccination" and "The Guthrie Test". Leaflets were designed with the co-operation of the Hospital Staffs and were produced by the Department in conjunction with the Guthrie Test display. My most grateful thanks to all the hospital staffs involved for their continued co-operation. |
dc523515-2145-4363-bd5f-e37fa9a099ab | It is hoped that during 1971. more displays on various health topics will be produced. Talks to Outside Organisations. Talks to diverse groups on a wide variety of subjects were given throughout the Borough. Speakers were provided for various women's organisations, St. Johns Ambulance Division and the Royal College of Midwives, (Havering Branch), as well as Guides and Brownies. Campaigns. Phase 'A' of the major Cervical Cytology Campaign has been completed and it is proposed to commence Phase 'B' in the New Year. A campaign programme of immunisation against Rubella for all girls in their 14th year of age, was started in September 1970. The general practitioners were firstly notified of the Department's plans, and the Education Authority approached, as the girls were to be contacted through the Secondary Schools in the Borough. The Head Teachers were visited and I am most appreciative of the co-operation we have received from them. |
0ee50b4e-cebe-4e6c-a133-0f888b98b94b | Arrangements were made for a Health Education Officer to speak to the girls to explain the dangers of Rubella during pregnancy, and to encourage them to take advantage of the vaccination. Seven of the thirteen schools have been visited so far and consent forms have been returned by six. The response so far has been good. 25 CO-ORDINATION OF SERVICES. Co-ordination and co-operation of the Health Department services with family doctor and hospital services occurs at a number of levels. At Committee level there is cross-representation of members and officers. For example the Chairman of the Health Committee serves on the Regional Hospital Board. The Vice Chairman among others serves on the Executive Council and the Medical Officer of Health and members of the Health Committee serve on Hospital Management Committees. Hospital Management Committee members from two Management Committees are co-opted on to the Health Committee. The Medical Officer of Health attends the meetings of the Local Medical Committee and a family doctor is co-opted on to the Health Committee. |
a1f3346a-d2da-428d-8cff-a8f663b47332 | At officer level there are links through the Medical Officer of Health with the Hospital Medical Advisory and Staff Committees and the Medical Officer of Health serves on the area Committee of the Association of Hospital Management Committees. One Consultant from the hospital for mentally subnormal, visits the Borough and sees subnormals at the request of the Health Department. One specialist visitor (Geriatric Liaison Officer) on the staff of the Medical Officer of Health is responsible for acting as liaison between the geriatric units - the family doctors and the Local Authority services. Health Visitors work in a health centre where a group of family doctors attend and carry on Infant Welfare Clinics there. The services of Health Visitors, District Nurses and Midwives are placed at the disposal of the family doctors as requested, the contact being made either through the Senior Nursing Staff or directly with the nursing staff concerned. Meetings between Local Health Authority Medical Officers of Health and family doctors who carry out clinics in the area are held at which common problems and new projects are discussed. |
13a062bd-eb38-4c14-89d0-981ca0f55ea8 | LOCAL AUTHORITY SOCIAL SERVICES ACT 1970 A great deal of time was taken up in 1970 planning the measures needed to implement the above Act which, inter-alia, provided for the setting up of Social Services Committees and the transfer to the new Departments of functions relating to the day care of pre-school children, in day nurseries and nursery groups, the registration of private nurseries and child minders, the provision of mother and baby homes, recuperative holidays, the home help service, the night sitter service and the mental health services, all previously provided through the Health Committee and Health Department. These functions together with the powers and duties of the Children's Committee and the Welfare Committee were to be brought together into a Social Services Department under the leadership of a Director of Social Services. 26 PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICES CARE OF MOTHERS AND YOUNG CHILDREN During the year 464 mothers attended our clinics for ante-natal care from the midwives. |
8a9eff42-1088-4648-989f-9a6c5bcc051b | A total of 454 clinic sessions were held and in addition 1,335 attendances were made at Mothercraft and Relaxation Classes. Following negotiations with the Regional Hospital Board, Miss J. E. M. Lambert, F.R.C.O.G., Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist, Barking Hospital, was appointed Medical Supervisor of Midwives with effect from 1st May, 1970 to succeed Dr. M. I. Adamson, former Associate Medical Officer of Health, who retired in December 19&9. This appointment forged a very useful link between the local authority health service and the hospital service.

As was once commented to me by an observer "I don't know what it is but the girls you have in the nursery seem different, rather special somehow", and I think perhaps they are. Most seem to develop a very special sort of quality of warmth and understanding throughout their training, and seem well equipped to face their future responsibilities. The background of children in the nursery seemed as varied as before ranging from the single income group to professional families i.e. teachers and nurses. The children themselves too come in a variety of shapes, sizes and termperaments! I look forward to the day when we can offer nursery care and education to all pre-school children, even if it is only part-time for we feel we can give so much. Sastbury Day Nursery Matron reports as follows:- 1970 was a busy, interesting and happy year for the children and staff at Eastbury Nursery. Our three students were successful in passing the N.N.E.B. |
