4037543c-d110-40b6-99cc-4822e3c1371a | The illness, although severe at onset, was of short duration. Four of the cases occurred in an outbreak in a food factory of a neighbouring area, when a meal of stuffed ox heart and sauce served in the canteen was suspected as being the cause. The illness was slight. The remaining five were single cases, where it was not possible to discover the cause. In some cases there was none of the suspected food available for examination, and in others no specific organisms were isolated. FOOD The conditions under which food is stored, prepared or offered for sale have again received considerable attention. It is gratifying to note that there were no serious outbreaks of food poisoning originating in this district. The obscurity of the causes of infection emphasises the need for sustained vigilance and the maintenance of a high standard of conduct and premises in the catering trades. A single lapse from strict cleanliness may lead to severe illness or even death. |
dfed68fe-0387-4af0-a1b2-f5506e446242 | There must be many cases of minor food poisoning which are not reported and investigated. It is the policy of the Department to inculcate the simple principles of food hygiene whenever the opportunity occurs during inspections of food premises. Some food handlers are naturally clean in their persons and habits. Others require continual supervision, and it should be possible to exclude these persons from employment in the food trades. One local food trader, on being requested to protect some exposed food from flies, promptly pulled out his pocket handkerchief and " flicked " the flies from the food, which incidentally was of a nature highly susceptible to infection ! HOUSING It is the declared policy of the Government that the pre-war campaign against bad housing conditions shall now be resumed. The general position in Barnes is that there are no large scale areas for slum clearance. There is a considerable amount of bad housing through improper conversions and adaptations of old property, and there is also a certain amount of property which is nearing the end of its useful life. |
c1838df6-8688-4bb4-937a-ca55ebd14365 | These conditions are not to be compared with those existing in the large industrial towns, nor in the crowded districts of the East End of London. Nevertheless, poor housing causes a great amount of discomfort and unhappiness, and vigorous action can now be taken to improve the general standard of housing accommodation. It will be necessary for a fairly detailed survey to be made so that proposals can be formulated and a policy decided. Unfortunately the tempo of the campaign must be regulated to the rehousing position. 8 Property owners are to receive increased rents only where the houses are in good repair, both as respects structure and decoration. Those owners whose property is already in poor repair will receive no increases presumably because appropriate amounts have not been spent on repairs in past years. These owners will now have to find the money to bring their property up to a reasonable standard or sell it at its market value. The problem of the dilapidated house can now be dealt with. |
8020a903-6445-4426-abfb-a957d8001673 | There remains, however, one feature of sub-standard housing in the district for which there is no statutory remedy. This is the lack of privacy inherent in the house which has been adapted for occupation by more than one family. Unless the houses have been properly converted families have to share common staircases, landings, bathrooms, sanitary conveniences, yards, etc. This causes a great deal of inconvenience and leads to unpleasantness and, in some cases, open strife. The new standard of fitness does not take a lack of privacy into account at all. Is it that domestic privacy, like hot water supply and a fixed bath, is considered a luxury ! The recently published Census Report for the County of Surrey reveals some very interesting figures showing the housing position in Barnes. The actual figures must be treated with some reserve because of the varying interpretations put on the questions asked on the Census forms, and answered by the housholders. |
eec6f511-ce92-46f6-9372-04b621c9f3da | For instancee, it would appear from the figures returned on the forms that there were 775 families (excluding those in shared dwellings) who did not have the exclusive use of a piped water supply from a tap. As far as the Department is aware there are only one or two such cases, and these are in circumstances peculiar to themselves. From these figures it appears that nearly 2,000 households have not the use of a fixed bath. Over 75% of the people living in houses occupied by more than one family (2,697 persons) have either not got the use of a bath or must share with members of another family. SANITARY CIRCUMSTANCES The question of the accumulations of refuse and discarded articles which are dumped in back passages, etc., referred to in my last Annual Report has not improved at all. Nearly all cases of rat infestation investigated reveal these unnecessary dumps which harbour vermin. It has been necessary to take formal action in a few cases. |
c6e1cd2c-5bc4-4191-95f4-cef06135ac17 | A new scale of charges has been fixed by the Council for the removal of rubbish which does not come within the ordinary domestic refuse category. The charges are considered to be very reasonable, and members of the public and traders should make greater use of this service. Unfortunately, however, the cost of dealing with incombustible refuse is 9 still a problem, and the Council cannot undertake to dispose of such material as builders' refuse, rubble, etc. Pest control measures have proved quite effective. Very few complaints have been received, and the number of rat infestations of property has been markedly reduced. All stagnant pools and marshy ground is treated early in the season. Places where animals are kept are visited regularly, and no undue difficulty has been experienced in preserving the amenities of the Borough. ATMOSPHERIC POLLUTION The Council has agreed to set up apparatus for measuring the amount of pollution in the air. |
448cc483-c38c-4b97-9247-c381ac6dab2a | There is a Deposit Gauge, for ascertaining the total deposited matter, a Daily Smoke Filter, which continuously extracts a sample of the air, filters it, and determines the amount of sulphur dioxide in the sampled air, and a Lead Peroxide Instrument for estimating the extent of pollution. These are all standard instruments and the results will be used in the nation-wide survey which is now being undertaken. It is to be hoped that before long some definite proposals will be issued so that uniform action can be taken by all authorities in the London area to eliminate atmospheric pollution. It would be possible to take certain action to establish smokeless zones within small areas in which the Council control all buildings, but this would impose some restrictions on the inhabitants of these areas which may be considered as being unjustified. Perhaps in the redevelopment schemes for the older parts of the Borough, consideration may be given to this aspect of planning for the future. |

The work of modernising the disposal plant is almost complete, but the final changeover is being held up by staffing difficulties. Meanwhile, the Engineer and his staff have perforce to keep the plant in operation as best they can. In spite of these difficulties no complaints whatever have been received by this Department from the operation of the disposal works. It is hoped that the new layout and plant will be fully operational well before the end of 1954, when the full benefits of reorganisation will be realised. WATER SUPPLY The water supply arrangements have remained unchanged, a good supply, both as regards quantity and quality, being maintained by the Metropolitan Water Board. Very few complaints were received, and in no case was this due to the main supply. The Board exercises close chemical and bacteriological analytical control. Many minor complaints about defective fittings, bursts, etc. |

White 4 Public Health Department, Municipal Offices, Sheen Lane, S.W.14. To the Mayor, Aldermen and Councillors of the Borough of Barnes. Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen, I have the honour to present my Annual Report for the year 1954. In accordance with the Ministry of Health Circular 28/54, the report has been prepared on the same lines as previous years, and consists of two partsβa preface in which reference is made to items of special interest, and an appendix in which is tabulated the statistics relating to the health of the district. During the year the health of the Borough has been good, and the incidence of infectious disease very low. The population, as estimated by the Registrar General, is now 40,170 as compared with 40,110 of the previous year. |
87064385-0de2-4d4f-a5e0-d04099715731 | The birth rate has fallen from 10.8 in 1953 to 10.1 in 1954, and the death rate has also decreased from 11.34 in 1953 to 10.5 in 1954. There was a decrease in the number of deaths of infants under 1 year, there being 9 deaths this year as compared with 10 last year. The infant mortality rate for this area is 22.1 per 1,000 live births. In presenting this report I should like to express my thanks to the Council for their continued help and support, and also pay tribute to all the members of the staff for their good work and loyal co-operation throughout the year. I have the honour to be, Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, ROSETTA HILL, August, 1955 Medical Officer of Health. 5 BOROUGH OF BARNES. |
62a5dc99-61e7-4909-8e33-311d480171cd | REPORT OF THE MEDICAL OFFICER OF HEALTH FOR THE YEAR 1954 PREFACE The Registrar General supplies local authorities with "Comparability Factors" in respect of births and deaths, and you will see that these have been used in the compilation of the various statistics. I would explain that the use of the factors supplied by the Registrar General give corrected figures to the local rates, enabling truer comparisons to be made with the remainder of the countryβi.e. as though the ages and sexes of the local population were in the same proportion as those for the whole country. STAFF AND DUTIES There have been no changes of staff in the Public Health Department during the year. The Medical Officer of Health and Sanitary Inspectors carry out all the duties laid down by the Sanitary Officers Regulations, with the exception of those relating to Diseases of Animals and Public Cleansing. |
b3a84869-91a9-4702-acb7-648330dcf833 | In addition the Sanitary Inspectors carry out the full provisions of the Shops Acts, the Pet Animals Act, Petroleum Acts, Heating Appliances (Fireguards) Act, and assist the Medical Officer of Health in connection with duties under the National Assistance Act relating to the welfare of aged, infirm or chronic sick cases. All work carried out by the Department is dealt with by the Public Health Committee with the exception that rehousing matters are taken by the Housing Committee. Shops Act matters are brought before the General Purposes Committee. PREVALENCE OF, AND CONTROL OVER, INFECTIOUS DISEASES Generally The incidence of Infectious Disease during the year was very low. There was a slight increase in the number of cases of Scarlet Fever, there being 29 cases as compared with 21 in 1953. There was only one case of Poliomyelitis notified during the year. The very low figure of 5 cases of measles occurred during the year. There were no cases of Diphtheria. |
cb1b2f24-71b0-411d-901d-c46c701e469f | t 6 Poliomyelitis The case of Poliomyelitis notified was a woman who had a slight degree of paralysis. She made a good recovery with no residual paralysis. Tuberculosis There was a marked decrease in the incidence of Pulmonary Tuberculosis, there being 10 cases less than in the previous year. The Non-pulmonary cases notified were 3, being the same as in the previous year. Death Rate There were 8 deaths from Pulmonary Tuberculosis during 1954. Ten persons whose names were included in the Tuberculosis Register died during the year, of these eight were certified due to Pulmonary Tuberculosis and the remaining two were due to other causes. This compares favourably with 11 deaths due to Pulmonary Tuberculosis in the previous year. |
60b982ba-65cb-489c-af16-cfaba62da480 | MASS RADIOGRAPHY UNIT Arrangements were made for the Mass Radiography Unit of the South-West Metropolitan Regional Hospital Board, to visit the borough from 5th February to 22nd February 1954, to afford free facilities for X-ray of the chest to anyone wishing to attend. Besides sessions for the general public, special sessions were held for school children, and the staffs of business houses and large firms. The Unit was based in the Public Health Department, and the visit widely publicised. The numbers attending showed a substantial increase on the previous visit. I feel that many more people should avail themselves of this opportunity of having an annual X-ray of chest, which is a most important check-up on health. |
a7168051-4f48-4ffb-b1fc-a335a6c2ecbc | I give below a brief summary of the findings of the Survey:β Male Female Total Total number X-rayed 1,484 1,930 3,414 Pulmonary tuberculosisβACTIVE 3 2 5 Pulmonary tuberculosisβINACTIVE 66 82 148 Non-tuberculous abnormalities 74 67 141 MATERNAL MORTALITY RATE One maternal death occurred where the interval between the maternal condition and death was stated to exceed 12 months. INFANT MORTALITY RATE The number of deaths of infants under one year was one less than in 1953. 7 The Infant Mortality rate for this area is thus 22.1 as compared with 25.5 the Infant Mortality rate for England and Wales. REMOVAL OF PERSONS IN NEED OF CARE AND ATTENTION, Section 47, National Assistance Act, 1948 There were reported 20 cases of old people in need of care and attention during the year. |
364260e2-bc95-4bf5-8435-d9d1a89a5dd9 | In only one case was it found necessary to take action under Section 47 of the National Assistance Act. The patient was a woman aged 91 years, who was suffering from grave chronic disease, living in insanitary conditions and was unable to devote to herself, and was not receiving from other persons, proper care and attention. She was removed to Barnes Hospital where she died five weeks later. Dysentery In September there was an outbreak of dysentery in Mortlake County Primary School. The infecting organism was Shigella Sonnei, which gives rise to a mild form of dysentery. Cases were isolated as soon as possible and referred to their own doctors for treatment. Contacts were excluded from school until bacteriological examinations were proved negative. Altogether there were 73 notified cases in this epidemic; a big proportion of these were children in the age group 5-7 years. Two other cases of Sonnei dysentery occurred earlier in the year, but were not related to this epidemic. |
87e7a0d2-e889-4109-a7d0-40ff52ccf304 | FOOD POISONING Number of cases notified 5 Number of deaths Nil Three of these cases occured in a factory canteen, where the cause was found to be "braised steak", which had been cooked and then reheated before serving. The infecting organism was Clostridium Welchii. One case was a child of 1 year of age, who developed an infection with Salmonella Typhi-murium, the source of which was not traced. One case was a man who became ill immediately on his return from Germany; he travelled by air. The infecting organism was found to be Salmonella San Diego, and the food suspected of causing it was thought to be cream, although this was not proved. FOOD The general standard of Food Hygiene has been maintained and in certain cases, mainly where premises have changed hands or new premises opened, there has been considerable improvement. |
5e1c3a2a-51e4-4fdd-a758-50ca318303e2 | With the older premises, however, it is evident that food hygiene is practised 8 only where it pays cash dividends or where failure to comply with the obvious requirements of the Food and Drugs Act would result in penalties. With the employees it seems that expediency comes first and too high a proportion are careless, thoughtless and conscienceless in handling and preparing food which others must eat. Employers have not the same control of staff as in less flourishing times and it may be necessary to deal more directly with workers in food premises who contravene the Food Byelaws. Unfortunately, visits of inspection are necessarily limited and odd acts of neglect and abuse are often not sufficiently serious to warrant proceedings. They do, however, give a good indication of what goes on most of the time and it may be necessary to take a few examples. There is evidence that some of the practices adopted during war time periods of shortage and difficulty are being kept up. |
1ba96f9f-680d-4c4b-af68-4883706ae82a | Butchers are still incorporating odd lumps of fat in rolled " joints " and slices of " bread and butter " are often really " bread and marge "! Buyers should be more precise in their ordering so that complaints can be taken up and dealt with. Too often it is found that the customer merely asked for " A pound of that " or " About seven and sixpence worth please The requirements as to labelling of food have been tightened up considerably in recent years and fewer exaggerated claims are being met with. HOUSING After about twelve months' experience of the working of the Housing Repairs and Rents Act 1954 the conclusions arrived at are that it has been only moderately successful. Whereas it was forecast that wholesale increases would be imposed and that the Department would be inundated with applications for Certificates of Disrepair this has not proved to be the case. The forms have proved to be almost beyond the comprehension of the average small landlord and the tenants. |
79c77ac9-9763-4482-b925-9640f9a97cb2 | The principles behind the increase have been only partly understood and there has been more comparison with what increases neighbours have suffered (or escaped) than with the relationship between repairs and rents! The most noticeable failure has been in respect of Improvement Grants. Not a single application was received in respect of rented properties in 1954 and this experience seems to be common in other areas. A preliminary survey of houses likely to be the subject of Closing or Demolition Orders reveals comparatively few which will need to be dealt with. The good work carried out in pre-war years, when systematic house to house inspections were made and wholesale repairs effected, has proved to have been the means of preserving many hundreds of the older houses. 9 In dealing with housing repairs the new standard of fitness still leaves much to be desired. A local authority must decide whether or not a house is unfit before action can be taken to secure necessary repairs. |
ba06112f-8180-4d51-a1c3-3a05a469248e | The standard requires that the house shall be considered unfit if, and only if, it is so far defective that it is not reasonably suitable for occupation in that condition. Presumably no action can be taken to enforce minor repairs and defects are to be allowed to become serious before remedial action can be taken. The label " unfit house " should be reserved for houses which are scheduled for early demolition. Houses which require repair only could then be considered from a different standpoint and more regard could be had to amenities and appearance, which have such an effect on the happiness and comfort of the occupants. Such items as defective plaster and badly fitting doors and windows could then be considered on their own demerits rather than on the grounds of actual prejudice to health, which is difficult to sustain in many cases, especially where tenants are obviously fit. The necessity to rehouse displaced families now living in insanitary conditions is an added burden on the overcrowded waiting lists. |
54a2919d-edd3-4562-97ab-53ddb319f572 | Is it better for a family to live in a damp, dark and dreary basement with enough room and privacy, than to eat and sleep crowded into a small bedroom grudgingly made available by relatives or landladies of " furnished " bedsitters ? These are the families who must compete with the tuberculous, the severe cardiac cases and those who are unfortunate enough to have been rehoused in requisitioned premises. There has been comparatively little difficulty in securing necessary repairs to houses. Lack of funds is still the main reason for neglect, another being the lack of care taken by tenants in helping to maintain their homes. Routine inspections for reconditioning are to be resumed shortly and a better impression will then be obtained as to whether the backlog of neglect over the past fifteen years can be made up, and whether rent increases are having the desired effect. |
54e752a9-ccf8-49c2-8a91-7676a9925246 | ATMOSPHERIC POLLUTION Some delay has been occasioned because the site proposed for the installation of recording apparatus for the daily measurement of smoke and sulphur dioxide was not acceptable to the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research (Fuel Research Station) and no other suitable site could be found. It has now been possible to site the apparatus at the new Civil Defence Training Centre and it is hoped to commence readings at an early date so that we can play our part in filling the gaps in the knowledge of conditions in the London Area. It is not known yet how far the proposals for a cleaner atmosphere envisaged in the Bill 10 now to be introduced will affect this district but it must be several years before conditions of fuel supply and the modifications of fuel burning appliances will enable positive results to be achieved. SANITARY CIRCUMSTANCES The absence of complaints of flies has been noticeable and can be mainly attributed to the discontinuance of the street pig bins. The usual measures were taken to deal with places likely to harbour mosquitoes, midges etc. |
30159494-bdd0-42fe-ad04-53588c8d7b54 | A troublesome infestation by midges arose in the Glentham Road area due to a plague of " Chironomidae (Midges). These insects breed in the reservoirs and emerge in clouds to cluster in doorways, street lamps and around windows. Experience of worse trouble in other areas has enabled remedial steps to be taken but unfortunately the infestation in Barnes did not follow true to pattern and the trouble arose when it was not expected. The situation is being watched and it is hoped that preventive measures will be taken in time in future. SEWERAGE AND SEWAGE DISPOSAL The new sewage disposal works are now in operation. Some trouble has been experienced with effluvia but it is hoped that arrangements can be made to overcome this. There is a certain amount of injurious matter finding its way into the sewers from time to time which is difficult to trace. |
892b2129-6dc1-46a0-a506-34ee6982e99f | WATER SUPPLY The water supply arrangements have remained unchanged, a good supply, both as regards quantity and quality, being maintained by the Metropolitan Water Board. Very few complaints were received, and in no case was this due to the main supply. The Board exercises close chemical and bacteriological analytical control. Many minor complaints about defective fittings, bursts, etc. have been referred to the Board, and they have invariably had prompt and efficient attention.
