baa33e80-0ed2-4198-a969-2f6c7294b42a | Unfortunately heavy rain confused the results of the second maintenance treatment which was carried out at the end of October and beginning of November when thirty-tree manholes were baited. No charge is made for the use of the Rodent Operator1s services in treating private domestic premises, provided that the occupiers co-operate in carrying out their duties under the Act. Seven preliminary notices were served requiring the removal of accumulations harbouring rats and to seal off old drains etc. The cost of treatments at all other premises is recoverable. OTHER INFESTATIONS. The Department is frequently asked for advice and assistance in connection with insect infestations and during this year has dealt with some one hundred and fifteen enquiries. Forty-eight wasps nests were destroyed on privately owned properties and on the Council's own lands. A small charge is made for this service to householders. The other infestations cover a variety of things, e.g. beetles, ants, cockroaches, flies, silver fish, woodworm and bugs. |
1dd36a27-c08a-44ef-ba64-944cabb0f39e | We are assisted in the identification of some of these insects by the British Museum (Natural History Section) the staff of which give prompt answers to our queries.

It seemed that the infestation was growing so a survey was made of all houses on the estate. This showed the matter to be quite serious. Special powder blowers were obtained and the Council's Rodent operator effected two treatments. This reduced the infestation considerably but to continue was beyond the staff of the Department. A specialist firm was engaged to carry out four quarterly treatments, only one of which was effected by the end of the year. (30) CLEAN AIR ACT, 1956. The Council's twenty-year programme to bring the whole district under Smoke Control Orders continues according to plan. The Nos. 2 and 3 Smoke Control Orders were confirmed by the Minister in 1961. |
447416cf-d8e1-47a7-952f-7224f9f6f2d8 | In 1962 the works proceeded, mostly in Council owned properties and the Orders came into operation on 30th September 1962. Only a few verbal warnings have been given after your Inspectors had seen smoke issuing from chimneys. The survey of the No. 4 Area proceeded normally and this was submitted to the Minister and confirmed in November, with the operative date being fixed as 1st October 1963- This allows a full nine months for anj necessary alterations to fireplaces to be made. Prom this date no smoke should issue from the 685 houses affected by the Order. I must again emphasise that no works should be started before written approval has been obtained from the Council, if grant aid is required. CONSUMER PROTECTION ACT. 1961. |
5da601bc-db26-4c3e-b963-9fd8877ac067 | This enactment, which came into operation on 19th August 1961 , repealed the Heating Appliances (Fireguards) Act, 1952, incorporating that legislation in wider terms to cover the making of regulations laying down enforceable standards as to safety requirements and instructions for any prescribed class of goods. One electric fire was found not to comply with the regulations made under the Act. These fires were sent out by the manufacturer with the elements not assembled. The shopkeeper assembles at least one for display purposes and although an instruction slip was attached to the fire this was not clear. Representations made to the manufacturer resulted in a new set of instructions for assembly being issued. NOISE ' ABATEMENT ACT. 1960. This Act added "noise or vibration which is a nuisance" to the list of Statutory Nuisances actionable by Part III of the Public Health Act 1936. |
c6491309-94fd-42cb-b7b1-11b03be2888b | It should be noted that in the case of noise or vibration caused in the course of a trade or business that it is a defence to prove that the best practicable (31) means of preventing or counteracting noise or vibration have been adopted. Also that not only may the Council take act:on but that any three occupiers of premises may firstly make complaint, as to a noise nuisance, to a justice of the peace, for action directly by the Court. In the latter hi If of the year a portable sound level meter was purchased and test readings were made in various parts of the district where factories etc. were adjoining residential properties in order to get some practise in using the instrument and to obtain some comparisons of levels of noise. The first complaint received was investigated and tne management of the factory acquainted with our readings and interpretations. Seven days later the company requested us to take further readings, following adjustments and alterations which had been made to a sand blasting machine. Considerable improvement had been made and no further complaints were received. |
5865883c-c276-494d-a7c2-521f34baaa31 | Other similar matters have been dealt with and so far we have had good co-operation from the factory owners. In the absence of legal standards, it may be difficult to decide particularly on 'border lin$ cases what is, or is not, a nuisance since so much depends upon the individuals opinion. The noise level meter gives some indication of comparable noises but certain individuals may be super sensitive to noise and made so irritable or nervous as to consider unreasonable a noise that others would not notice unduly. PETROLEUM (REGULATION) ACTS. 1928 AMD 1936. Thirty premises in the district were licensed for the storage of petroleum spirit and petroleum mixtures, one less than last year. One licencee increased his storage capacity by 1 ,000 gallons and turned one tank of 500 gallons over to Diesel Oil. One other licencee changed his 500 gallon tank to Diesel Oil and does not therefore need a licence. |
deb76a19-0dfa-4462-b46c-3ef5013831d3 | The process of testing the older installations, in line with the (32) requirements of the Licence Conditions, has continued, any defects being remedied before a licence is renewed. I am, Yours obediently, J.B. Wilson. Chief Public Health Inspector. |

9ef8fe54-4ddf-4ddf-8147-1db4a4ceb8c6 | Thus, if an attempt is made to compare this area with other districts, or with previous years, it would be better to compare actual cases. GENERAL PROVISION OF HEALTH SERVICES FOR THE DISTRICT. The Council are not the appropriate Local Authority for the purpose of the National Health Service Act, 1946, and do not therefore control any of the Hospitals or ancillary services in the district. Within this district, and under the control of the Barnet Group Hospital Management Committee, are the following:- Barnet General Hospital, Wellhouse Lane, Barnet. 490 Beds. St, Stephen's Hospital, Mays Lane, Barnet. 88 Beds. (Female medical, Ear, Nose and Throat, and Male long-stay cases) (4) Victoria Maternity Hospital, Wood Street, Barnet. 59 Beds. The following is a list of Clinics etc., available in the district. Tuberculosis Clinics are held daily, at Barnet Chest Clinic, Wellhouse Lane, Barnet. |

The major portion of the district is supplied with water from the mains of the Lee Valley Water Company, the remainder of the district being supplied by the Colne Valley Water Company. (6) All water supplied to the district is chlorinated and both companies employ trained laboratory staff who regularly take samples of water for bacteriological examination at the various stages of treatment, and from the mains, thus checking the quality of the water as actually supplied to the consumer. The supply to the whole district is of a high level of purity and is considered adequate. |
a98fe413-80cd-4678-9622-58b31c2bf9f3 | All the 516 bacteriological and 15 chemical samples of the water supplied to the district, and examined by the Company's staff, were found to conform to standards of purity considered suitable for public supply. The work of providing duplicate seven million gallon reservoirs and a water tower at Arkley is progressing satisfactorily despite delays due to the frosty weather at the beginning of the year. These works, when completed, will improve the supply to a substantial area of the district. DRAINAGE AND SEWERAGE. The town is drained and sewered on the separate system, excepting the older portions of the district where it is a combined system. The sewage is conveyed to a Sewage Disposal works of 56 acres, where it is screened, grit removed in detritus tanks, thence to primary settlement tanks and thereafter distributed over three 80 ft. diameter bacteria filters, followed by humus removal in rectangular tanks before discharge to the Dollis Brook. |
dd171cf8-83f0-4375-9946-09b9f4b321a6 | Pumping is necessary for three sewers which have their outlets at a low point on the works. Part of the Totteridge area drains to the Finchley Borough sewers, and the Barnet ByPass area into Elstree Rural District Council's sewers. All the closely built up areas of the district are now served by soil sewers, leaving the more rural portions of Totteridge and Rowley, with their low density housing on cesspool drainage or domestic sewage disposal plants. The East Middlesex Trunk sewerage scheme has reached the stage where it is anticipated that the overloaded Barnet Sewage Works will be eliminated early in 1964.

57b84a84-e7fe-4087-9128-9144a84f85ee | The high number of notifications of Dysentery relates to the outbreak of Sonnei Dysentery at the Whitings Hill School. By the normal meana of notifications and checking on family contacts we had reached a total of (9) seventy-five cases and then in consultation with the County Medical Officer's Department and the Public Health Laboratory Service, Colindale, it was arranged, on June 12th, to take stool specimens from all children (450) at the school. This resulted in us finding 158 children positive and some 65 relatives of them also positive. A strict hygiene drill was instituted at the school including dipping of hands in a suitable disinfectant, hand washing, cleansing and disinfection of water closets, taps, etc., and also a reversal of the normal procedure of exclusions so that the school work could continue almost as normal. Family contacts attending other schools were excluded, as also were food handlers. |
c0d88178-fdbe-40de-8ce9-00d6bd589238 | Following appropriate treatment by their general practitioners, further stool specimens were taken from all children at the school resulting in only twenty-five "positives". The last known case in or connected with the school was cleared of infection on 12th August. Although some families had children attending two or sometimes three schools there was no outbreak at those other schools. I would like to place on record my appreciation of the co-operation and assistance received from the teaching staff, Whitings Hill School and all the parents of children at that school. Early in December, a minor outbreak of Sonnei Dysentery occurred at the St. Andrews School, Totteridge. No connection was found with the earlier outbreak in Barnet. On receiving notifications of two cases in school children the strict hygiene drill was instituted at the school straightway. The last known date of onset in a child was 23rd December and in an adult on 28th December. |
2a193d11-83ba-40d6-b156-845f98d5a2e2 | The total number of cases was twenty-five (seventeen school children and eight family contacts) with no further complications with other schools.

37f959d9-fbcb-4e85-9393-95a766843514 | The number of new cases notified this year (5) is well below the average number for the last ten years, i.e. 18,3 new cases. The Mass Radiography Unit was stationed in the district from 15th to 18th October with sessions for factory personnel and the public. Cases removed for treatment are usually sent to Clare Hall Hospital, South Mimms, other patients with an infectious disease being sent to Coppett's Wood Hospital, Muswell Hill, N.10. INTERNATIONAL VACCINATION CERTIFICATES. At the end of 1952 a new form was introduced for International Vaccination Certificates requiring authentication of the signature of the doctor performing vaccination or inoculation of persons proceeding overseas. During the year three hundred and seventy-one such certificates were authenticated and marked with the internationally agreed stamp. NATIONAL ASSISTANCE ACT. 1948 -SECTION 47.

Six elderly persons came under our notice during the year, and arrangements for their admission to a hospital or home were made, where necessary, without the need for the use of compulsory powers. The visiting Service of the Old People's Welfare Committee continues to render invaluable help in keeping in touch with the elderly housebound people and in bringing in the various services which are available. The Chiropody Service which is arranged at the five Evergreen Clubs and at home in certain circumstances gives relief to many. Part of the prefabricated building in Salisbury Road, rented by the Council, is used by the Women's Voluntary Service for its services generally; in a kitchen and dining room they prepare and provide meals (12) for the elderly, also for the "Meals on Wheels" service. In the Fern Room, a recreational room for the old people, tea, coffee and biscuits are available at a small charge every morning. |
0eb57708-8e41-4772-ab31-ca1b3aabf5c0 | The whole building is centrally heated and during the winter months, particularly, provides a warm resting place when the elderly are out for exercise or shopping. MORTAL STATISTICS. Of 300 deaths, 5 occurred under one year of age. The following were the major causes of death:- Heart disease 108; Cancer 58 (29 males and 29 females); Vascular Lesions of Nervous system 31; Bronchitis 15; Pneumonia 26; Motor Vehicle accidents 5; Other accidents 2; Suicide 5. MORTUARY ACCOMMODATION. Under arrangements made with the East Barnet Urban District Council their mortuary is available for the use of this district, but no use was made of this during 1963.

To the Chairman and Members of the Barnet Urban District Council. I have the honour to present my Annual Report for the year 1963. Owing to the full engagement of the staff in connection with the outbreak of Sonnei Dysentery at the Whitings Hill School for almost three months, and the employment of one inspector full time at the privately owned slaughterhouse for six weeks before the new Meat Inspector commenced duties in November, there has been some diminution of the amount of normal routine work undertaken. Fortunately, the proposed No. 5 Smoke Control Area, the survey for which was carried out during the year, was below average in the number of premises to be visited, i.e. 292, so that the survey, the compilation of estimates etc. , the report to Council and subsequently to the Ministry were completed on schedule. |
af8dfbf2-467d-4840-9365-0914dbec18ba | Confirmation of the Smoke Control Order was not received from the Ministry by the end of the year". The No. 4 Smoke Control Order came into operation on 1st October 1963, bringing a further 687 houses under smoke control. The Council had authorised the starting of the proposed No. 6 Area following the completion of the No. 5 Area. My thanks are due to the staff of the Public Health Department for their unstinted support throughout the year and to all the officers of the Council for their assistance and co-operation. INSPECTION OF DISTRICT. General inspections of the district have been carried out periodically and all complaints investigated. The process of serving a preliminary or intimation notice upon the (14) person in default, specifying the works necessary to remedy the defects found, is usually followed. The Council's authority to serve Statutory Notices is requested where persons fail to comply with the preliminary notice or where the strict legal procedure is necessary in the first instance.

3f03db48-6651-4d33-a519-b50dc1b82845 | Owing to the poor state of the sewage disposal systems of six houses in Arkley, which were deemed to be public sewers within the meaning of the Act, the Council, after the necessary investigations, decided to take over part of a private sewer in Arkley Lane and made a declaration that the defined length should vest in the local authority as a public sewer. Plans are being drawn for the laying of a short length of public sewer to connect thereto and for the connection of the drains of the six houses. The department arranged and supervised the repair of a frontage drain by agreement with the owner. The costs, with interest, will be recovered by instalments from the owner. HOUSING. During the year, no Demolition Orders were made but one house was demolished, and one made fit, both of which were the subject of earlier Demolition Orders. There still remain two tenants to be rehoused from two houses the subject of Demolition Orders made prior to this year. |
e20ca89d-6f31-4420-8a8d-37007c7c0131 | No cases of overcrowding, as defined by the Housing Act, have come to our notice during the year. In the oase of a house on which repairs had been started but apparently abandoned, use was made of Section 27 of the Public Health Act 1961 , to secure progression of the work particularly externally where piles of bricks and rubble, rusting scaffolding etc., presented an unsavoury picture. (16) PUBLIC HEALTH ACT. 1956. INFECTIOUS DISEASE INVESTIGATION AND DISINFECTION. Investigations have been carried out of the more important cases of infectious disease listed in the Medical Officer of Health's Report. The dysentery outbreak at Whitings Hill School was the major effort in this field during the year. Investigation of family contacts showed parents working at the School and the local General Hospital. Some 1,500 stool specimens were submitted to the Public Health Laboratory Service. |
f1fe57d2-5eb6-4054-8d5e-152b9dab06eb | Where necessary, premises are disinfected and bedding is taken for disinfection to the Barnet General Hospital under arrangements made with the Barnet Group Hospital Management Committee. Four hundred and seventy-four library books were disinfected before return to libraries, a considerable increase, due to the Measles epidemic in the early part of the year.

Number of Dairies 1 Any infringements found are rectified or remedied by informal action when pointed out to the trader, and no formal action was needed. During out visits of inspection every opportunity is taken to discuss food hygiene with staff and management, and several small matters regarding cleanliness (17) and protection of open foodstuffs were taken up informally and rectified, The old Barnet Cattle Market is now used as a stall market selling a wide variety of merchandise and including several food stalls. On average the food stalls consisted of:- Butchers 1 Fishmongers 1 Poulterers 1 Grocers 1 Confectioners 2 Greengrocers 3 Snack Bar 1 Regular visits have been made to the market and it is felt that a reasonable standard is being maintained. SHOES ACT. 1950. |
8ca341fe-907f-41e1-9bce-3fbc3735b5f4 | Through our liasion with the Surveyor's Department all plans for shops and shop fronts are seen by this Department and compliance with the requirements of the Act is secured at the planning stage. It is remarkable that so many shopfitters do not make any provision for ventilation in the shop front until their attention is drawn to the point, ICE CREAM. All samples of ice-cream are taken to the Central Public Health Laboratory, Colindale, for testing by the Methylene Blue Test. This is merely indicative and provides no legal standard: the Public Health Laboratory Service suggest that owing to the numerous factors governing the hygienic quality of ice-cream it is unwise to pay too much attention to the bacteriological results on any single sample, judgement being based rather on a series of samples. It is suggested as desirable thai at least 50% should fall into Grade I, 80% into Grades I or II, not more than 20% into Grade III and none into Grade IV. |
d7db510f-bea8-4744-9a14-9fb75aab82d9 | There is one company registered for the manufacture of ice-cream and the following table gives the results of samples taken from the factory. Grade I 59 (78.7%) Grade II 11 (93.3% - Grades I and II) Grade III 2 ( 2.7%) Grade IV 3 ( 4.0%) The number of samples taken is rather less than usual owing to our preoccupation with the Dysentery outbreak at a local school. (18) The company concerned, whose distribution is mainly through the medium of mobile vans, have followed the trend in the trade of going over to the production of "Soft Ice-cream". This product is made up in the factory as a pasteurised liquid mix, packed in plastic containers, which must be kept below 45°F, until it is frozen. The freezing process is carried out in a machine installed in the van and operated by the salesman on each sale, delivering ice-cream at a temperature little below the critical freezing temperature of the mix. |
42b8de93-6c58-4fdc-a2e2-578e2a6d02d7 | New methods of manufacture usually mean a reduction of handling of foods but in this case the driver salesman is now responsible for the cleansing and sterilisation of an intricate piece of machinery. It is not surprising that, although the results of samples taken at the factory are reasonably satisfactory, complaints are received from other districts where the mobile salesmen operate. It is to be hoped that in the near future this company will employ a suitably qualified person to take samples daily at the factory and at all stages of production so that only Grade I material goes forward to the outdoor sales section. There are forty-seven premises registered for the storage and sale of ice cream, being one less than last year. DAIRIES. COWSHEDS AND MILKSHOPS. The control of the production of milk is vested in the Ministry of Agriculture Fisheries and Pood. The local authority is responsible for the inspection and registration of milk distributors and other dairy premises not directly concerned with the actual production of milk, and for licensing for the sale of Designated Milks. |
e7ceeccb-8494-4fba-a19b-fbffe0db41cb | Five samples of milk have been taken, in course of delivery to the consumer, and submitted to the appropriate tests with the results as shown on the next page. Since all the milk retailed in the district is supplied by the large Companies, maintaining laboratory staffs, there would not appear to be a need for such frequent sampling as heretofore. No official action was taken under Regulation 20 of the Milk and Dairies General Regulations 1959, to stop or restrict the sale of milk. (19) No cases of disease were notified which could be attributed to the consumption of infected milk. Designation Samples Taken Satisfactory Unsatisfactory. |

The summary on the next page contains the results of fifty-eight samples taken by this Department. The eight unsatisfactory samples were sported to the Council and the following are brief comments on them. Beef Roma. The Public Analyst reported that this sample contained 28% of meat. In his opinion, canned products of this type in which meat forms a major part of the title or description should contain 35% of meat. In view of the absence of a legal standard and impending legislation no further action was taken. (20) Article No. Examined No. Adulterated Etc.

a3173399-75ac-4e25-a803-e0d9fab076dc | This sample,purchased from a grocery shop, was reported to contain no significant proportion of fruit juice and that it should more properly be described "Blackcurrant Flavour Jelly". The suppliers to the shop, expressed regret that in designing new labels for this particular brand of jelly the word, "flavour" had been omitted from this Blackcurrant Jelly, other flavours being satisfactorily labelled. A new label was being designed and the local shop withdrew existing stocks. Frosting Mix. This was another case of incorrect labelling. The product contained a permitted chemical within the specified limits but this was referred to as a "freshness preserver" without giving the proper name of the chemical. Stocks were withdrawn from sale and we are awaiting a reply from the manufacturer's agents in this country. Soft Ice Cream. The sample was taken from a machine outside a local shop and the Public Analyst reported that it contained % Fat and 7.8 c/o milk solids other than fat. |
3b0277da-0264-4e2b-afad-251c044f64b0 | The Food Standards (ice Cream) Regulations require that ice cream shall contain not less than 5 % of fat. I was instructed to take further samples from this retailer but was unable to do so as the dispensing machine was closed down for the end of the season. Irish Stew. Your .analyst reported that these samples contained 22 and 29 % meat content. In his opinion this product should contain 35 %. In view of the possibility of variations of meat content as between cans of the same batch further samples are to be taken, but there is as yet no legal standard for these products. American Enriched Loaf. The Public Analyst reported that the true "American Enriched Loaf" as sold in the U.S.A. contains some 5.6 % fat. He understands that (22) this is not popular in this Country and it has been recommended that this be reduced by 50 %. This sample contained 3 % fats. No further action was taken. |
5ab4723e-5c20-4561-94e7-8f7828fef806 | Milk. A bottle of milk was brought to the Department with specks on the inside of the bottle. Your Analyst reported that these reddish specks were iron filings. A warning letter was sent to the retailer. MERCHANDISE LARKS ACT. 1926. The Council became the authority for enforcing the provisions of these Acts and Orders made thereunder when they were designated a Pood and Drugs Authority. No formal action was found necessary during the year. MEAT AND FOOD CONDEMNED. The following is a list of articles of food condemned as unfit for human consumption during the year, the frozen packets being from two deep freeze cabinets which broke down and the food became defrosted and out of condition.

b8f2d5b9-ea65-4768-8ec8-04512a10f57e | SLAUGHTER OF ANIMALS ACT. 1958. MEAT INSPECTION REGULATIONS. 196?. Your Inspectors have, in the past, maintained a high percentage of meat inspection during the course of the six days per week of slaughtering at the local privately owned slaughterhouse. On the 1st October 1963, the Meat Inspection Regulations 1963, came into operation at very short notice. The Council at the first opportunity, gave authority for the employment of a full time meat inspector and we were fortunate in securing the services of Mr. J. Ramsay, who commenced his duties in the middle of November. Since the 1st October we have maintained l00/o inspection of all animals slaughtered, with one exception when twelve calves were slaughtered late in the evening and no inspector was available. The Ministry's Inspector was notified as soon as possible. For the six weeks before Mr. |
d5604a56-45d5-4f43-a68c-5cd7ab7929ed | Ramsay took up his appointment one of your three Public Health Inspectors was at the slaughterhouse on the days of slaughtering and therefore unable to carry out other duties. Carcases passed as fit for human consumption are marked with a stamp which is also coded to indicate the inspector who carried out the inspection. Charges are made for the inspection service at the following rates, as permitted by the Regulations: 2/6d for bovines; 9d for calves and pigs, and 6d for sheep and goats. The condemned meat and offals are taken away for manufacture into useful by-products. Totbl weight of carcase meat condemned:- Bovine 704 lbs. Ovine 441 lbs. Porcine 170 lbs. 1 ,315 lbs.

The increase from 1,29% last year to 9.05% this year is almost entirely due to the great increase in the number of old ewes which were slaughtered under contract. There were ten persons licensed by the Council as fit persons to slaughter animals, most of them work part or full time as slaughtermen at the local slaughterhouse. Two conditional, or learner, licences were also issued. No complaint has been received from other districts concerning the conduct of those who are employed outside the district.

PUBLIC HEALTH ACT. 1956 - SECTION 60. Escape from Fire - Pertain High Buildings. Where plans are deposited with the Surveyor's Department under the building byelaws, and it appears that Section 60 applies to the building, the plans are passed to this Department for inspection so that any works which may be necessary are carried out with the other building works. CARAVAN SITES AND CONTROL OF DEVELOPMENT ACT. 1960. The owner of one site appealed in 1 961 against the conditions of licence and this was heard at the local Petty Sessions in 1962. The Court made several minor alterations but did not vary the time limit within which the works were to be carried out. This period was of two (26) years from the hearing which will expire in 1964. The extensive drainage works were commenced in the latter half of the year. |
d366d136-0273-46a1-9522-b3a7ee1c12cb | The caravans attending the Barnet Fair, axe exempted from the controls of the Act, hut several visits are made to enquire into the sanitary conditions, any infectious diseases and to enforce the provisions of temporary sanitary accommodation in the different sections of the Fair for the use both of caravanners and the visiting public. Regular removal of refuse from caravans and stalls is arranged and inspections are made of food stalls to secure hygienic conditions. HERTFORDSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL ACTS. 1955 MP 1960. Provision is made in the 1935 Act, inter alia, for the conduct and regulation of:- (l) Hairdressers' and Barbers' Premises; ( 2) Swimming Baths and Pools, and (3) Employment Agencies. Hairdressers' and Barbers' Premises. There are fifteen such establishments in the district. Routine visits are made from time to time to ensure compliance with the Byelaws. |
4d85ec32-ea89-4635-afb2-f87707d6166c | Informal action secured the cleansing of walls and ceiling in one instance. Swimming Baths and Bathing Fools. The only swimming pool in the district, viz, at "The Barn", Barnet Bye-Pass is not now in use. The swimming pools at schools are all within the purview of the Education Authority, and are inspected regularly by the County Health Inspector, who arranges bacteriological examination of the water. The Council had no observations to make to the County Council concerning the renewal of licences to carry on Employment Agencies for the year. HOME COUNTIES (MUSIC AND DANCING) LICENSING ACT. 1926. HERTFORDSHIRE (MUSIC AND DANCING) REGULATIONS. 1956. Under regulations made by the County Council a report from the local district council is required regarding the suitability and sufficiency of sanitary arrangements at premises for Music and Dancing before licences are issued. All were (27) satisfactory and the County Council notified accordingly. PET ANIMALS ACT. |
96156548-6d49-437c-8680-8239cf880a6f | 1951. This Act gives the local Authority, inter alia, power to grant licences to persons to keep pet shops for the sale of pet animals and to attach to the licences conditions concerning the cleanliness and general management of the premises: four persons are so licensed in this district one less than last year. No complaints were received nor were any major contraventions of the conditions observed during visits of inspection. RIDING ESTABLISHMENTS ACT. 1959. The Council employs a Veterinary Surgeon, on a part-time basis, to inspect the five establishments housing some 110 horses in the district. The condition of the horses and their accommodation was considered satisfactory. Two of these establishments, housing 15 and 10 horses respectively, ceased to function at the end of the year. ANIMAL BOARDING ESTABLISHMENTS ACT. 1963. |
a716d9b4-2b97-439a-a3f4-d60f1f6f7c8f | This Act comes into force on 1st January 19&4 and will require that no person shall keep a boarding establishment for cats and dogs except under the authority of a licence granted under the Act by the local authority. The licence shall specify such conditions as are necessary to secure the objects of the Act, i.e.5 cleanliness, prevention of the spread of disease and cruelty etc. The Council approved a set of general conditions to attach to licences and one application for a licence was received before the end of the year. RODENT CONTROL. Prevention of Damage by Pests Act. 1949. A full time rodent operator is employed for treatment of infestations of rats and mice. The table on the next page summarises the work carried out during the year in a form to suit the purposes of the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food. (28) RODT5NT CONTROL. |

The test bait in April resulted in twenty-two "takes" of bait out of a total of ninety-three manholes tested, although heavy rainfall during the period of the test bait confused the result by water splashing or washing away the bait. Following this up in May, sixty-seven manholes were baited; "takes" were recorded in fifteen and these were poison baited. |
5633f452-37dc-4235-b5ae-39dc1b018a65 | The result of the second maintenance treatment carried out in November showed thirteen "takes" out of a total of thirty-nine manholes baited. No charge is made for the use of the Rodent Operator's services in treating (29) private domestic premises, provided that the occupiers co-operate in carrying out their duties under the Act. Five preliminary notices were served requiring the removal of accumulations harbouring rats. The cost of treatments at all other premises is recoverable. OTHER IN FESTATIONS. The Department is frequently asked for advice and assistance in connection with insect infestations and during this year has dealt with some one hundred and sixty-five enquiries. One hundred and twentyfour wasps nests were destroyed on privately owned properties and on the Council's own lands. A small charge is made for this service to householders. The other infestations cover a variety of things, e.g. beetles, ants, cockroaches, flies and bugs. |
538f8cec-57e2-46e4-83a7-02d4df9c6e7e | We are assisted in the identification of some of these insects by the British Museum (Natural History Section) the staff of which give prompt answers to our queries. Following representations by residents of the nuisance caused by feral pigeons , two areas were pre-baited with maize, one in Byng Road and the other the Barracks Yard, rear of the High Street, under the powers given by Section 74 of the Public Health Act, 1961. As the pre-baiting was successful, drawing pigeons to the baiting points from various parts, the Ministry were approached for a licence to use an approved narcotic. This was eventually forthcoming and on Sunday morning, 23rd June at 5 a.m., the hour at which the pre-baiting had been done, the narcotised bait was laid. Just over one hundred pigeons were picked up and destroyed. The following morning a total of sixteen pigeons only were counted on both sites. |
ca9cb388-1656-417b-a853-3c209bed9f5e | The contract for dealing with an infestation of cockroaches on one of the Council's housing estates was recommended for renewal for a second (30) year, good results having been obtained. It was thought that the renewal would complete the destruction of the pest. CLEAN AIR ACT. 1956. The Smoke Control programme has continued according to the Council's plan. During the year the works of alterations to fireplaces etc., proceeded in connection with the No. 4 Smoke Control Order which came into operation on the 1st October 1963, bringing a further 687 premises under smoke control, and making a total of 1 ,722 under control, in the district. Whilst approving the works and costs of alterations to fireplaces in the No. 4 area and supervising the works, the survey of the proposed No. 5 area was proceeding. The Council made the appropriate Order and this was submitted to the Ministry for confirmation, but was not received by the end of the year. |
f9bec335-99e2-46a7-8aa5-8a8fb15a01cc | This Order, if confirmed, will come into operation on 1st October, 1964. Following the completion of the preparatory reports and the making of the No. 5 Order, circular letters and information were sent out to all householders in the proposed No, 6 area. At the end of 1963 the Ministry Circular 69/63 was issued which made some radical changes in the approach to what is "reasonably necessary" as regards types of fireplaces ranking for grant. In the past the basis for grant has generally been the open fire, but with little further increase in the supplies of open fire cokes and good supplies of "hard" cokes available grant may now be paid on the more expensive equipment capable of burning the hard cokes. Although the capital cost of these appliances is higher, the increased efficiency should soon offset this. Likewise , grant may now be paid on the reasonable costs of installing fixed gas fires and electric storage heaters. CONSUMER PROTECTION ACT. 1961. |
cb031b00-6ab2-4cea-8da5-b190f5d4597c | This enactment, which came into operation on 19th August, 1961, repealed the Heating Appliances (Fireguards) Act, 1952, incorporating that legislation in wider terms to cover the making of regulations laying down enforceable standards (31) as to safety requirements and instructions for any prescribed class of goods. No action was needed during the year. NOISE ABATEMENT ACT. 1960. This Act added "noise or vibration which is a nuisance" to the list of Statutory Nuisances actionable by Part III of the Public Health Act 1936. It should be noted that in the case of noise or vibration caused in the course of a trade or business that it is a defence to prove that the best practicable means of preventing or counteracting noise or vibration have been adopted. Also that not only may the Council take action but that any three occupiers of premises may firstly make complaint, as to a noise nuisance, to a justice of the peace, for action directly by the Court. |
be7463d0-90f6-4a58-9178-76977ad01d31 | Several observations have been made during the year and some ameliorative measures taken on informal approaches being made. In the absence of legal standards, it is difficult to decide particularly on "border line" cases what is, or is not, a nuisance since so much depends upon individual opinion. The sound level meter gives some indication of comparable noise but certain individuals axe more sensitive than others to noise. PETROLEUM (REGULATION) ACTS. 1928 AND 1956. Thirty premises in the district were licensed for the storage of petroleum spirit and petroleum mixtures, the same as last year. One licencee increased his storage capacity by 1 ,000 gallons and one licensed for 5 gallons of petroleum mixtures, gave up the premises at the end of the year. The process of testing the older installations, in line with the requirements of the Licence Conditions, has continued, any defects being remedied before a licence is renewed. I am, Yours obediently, J.B. Wilson. Chief Public Health Inspector. |
ca688d95-7974-4ff6-9575-b6866fefd73e | BAR1 THE HEALTH AND WELFARE OF THE LONDON BOROUGH OF BARNET 1967 MELVILLE. WATKINS, M.R.C.S.. L.R.C.P.. D.P.H. BAR 1 THE LONDON BOROUGH OF BARNET ANNUAL REPORT OF THE MEDICAL OFFICER OF HEALTH AND PRINCIPAL SCHOOL MEDICAL OFFICER FOR THE YEAR 1967 MELVILLE WATKINS, M.R.C.S., L.R.C.P., D.P.H. Health and Welfare Department, Gateway House, 322 Regents Park Road, Finchley, N.3. To the Mayor, Aldermen and Councillors of the Council of the London Borough of Barnet: Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen, It is with pleasure that I present my Report of the Health and Welfare Service of the Borough for the year 1967. |
457fcc23-b1c6-43ad-b875-a570f5677ab5 | In my Report dealing with the year 1966, I referred to the fact that consolidation was still very much the order of the day, but I can say that in 1967 considerable advances were made and though the development of the services, by reason of economic considerations, could not progress as completely planned, I am confident that the limited planned progress made augurs well for the future. The compilation of the Report follows the same pattern as in previous years and covers all the main facets of the Department's work. I should like, however, to draw attention to several new developments; first of which was the establishment of a Special Investigation Clinic at Vale Drive Clinic for the treatment of enuretic children. This service is under the direction of my Deputy and the enthusiasm with which it has been received and the results achieved are most gratifying. |
206395ef-8e39-4ceb-82c4-a2094565b44f | The second new development was the establishment of an In-Service Training Course which provides for approximately 30 persons of all disciplines within the Health and Welfare Department (mainly new recruits) being brought together to hear lectures given by Principal and Senior Officers on the responsibilities and work of the various sections of the Department and additionally talks by officers of other Departments involved in Social Services. In my opinion, this form of InService Training is of great value to the staff who are able to further their knowledge by taking part in discussion groups which follow each series of weekly lectures at present spread over five weeks but I anticipate the need for having to extend the course over a greater number of weeks. A course such as this provides an economic basis of training, which otherwise might have to be provided for by outside attendance. The enthusiasm with which the lecturers gave their services and the response from participants indicated to me the value of Local Authority officer participation at the base of operations. |
0c78d2fc-a7b7-4036-9df5-bc0942edae63 | The corrected birth rate for Barnet indicates a continuing downward trend, the figure for 1967 being 14.3 compared to 14.6 (1966) and 15.3 (1965). The infant mortality rate showed an increase from 13.3 per 1000 live births in 1966 to 16.0; whilst representing an increase from 62 infant deaths in 1966 to 73 in 1967, this is nevertheless much lower than the figure for England and Wales. The statistics in relation to neo-natal and early neo-natal deaths are similarly affected. There was one maternal death and the peri-natal mortality rate i.e. stillbirths and deaths under one week of age was 23.3 per 1000 total live and stillbirths compared to 24.2 for the Greater London Area and 25.4 for England and Wales. There has been no serious outbreak of infectious disease during the year. |
8c98f1d3-d705-4afb-afaf-ba9b2867a8f7 | 1 The year under review saw the introduction of the Abortion Act, 1967, and the National Health Service (Family Planning) Act, 1967. Requirements in respect of approval to carry out abortions in Nursing Homes brought one application for consideration. Turning to the implications of family planning, the Act confers on Local Authorities the general power, with the approval of the Minister of Health (and when the Minister directs, imposes a duty on them) to make arrangements for the giving of advice on contraception, the medical examination of persons seeking such advice and the supply (by subscription or directly) of contraceptive substances. The coming into being of this Act necessitated Local Authorities reviewing their family planning facilities in particular as regards the Domiciliary Services and, in my Report for next year, I will deal specifically with the considerations given and recommendations that the Council decides to make. During the year in question, it became obvious to me that certain Clinics could possibly be adapted to provide what is implied in the operation of a Health Centre. |
4ff987f6-a8c0-4611-9cfd-567b15fee8ac | Arising out of the survey undertaken. it was found that East Barnet Clinic was capable of being adapted to provide Health Centre accommodation for five General Practitioners subject to minor reconstruction work and plans were prepared accordingly and for subsequent submission to the Ministry of Health and consideration by the Authority. I saw this as Barnet's first inroad into Health Centre accommodation, to be followed by other purpose-built Health Centres, the first two of which would be on the Hen don Aerodrome Site and in the West Hendon Redevelopment Area. From the survey, it became obvious that certain other Clinics, though not capable of providing Health Centre facilities, could possibly be considered in connection with applications being made by General Practitioners for accommodation and, in fact, the temporary use of one Clinic was ultimately permitted by the Council and with the approval of the Middlesex Executive Council. During 1967, the staffing situation generally improved but the administration service of the Department still needs to be strengthened. |
78e27848-6425-4865-812e-fd0c15942104 | This aspect of the Department's work will no doubt be taken into account when the Management Services Unit's Report is issued on the Health and Welfare Department as a whole. The development of the Mental Health and Welfare Services progressed and during the year a 40-place Adult Training Centre at Fieldways, Wellhouse Lane, Barnet, came into operation. A start was also made in regard to Day Centre provision for the Elderly Mentally Confused at Park House Hostel. I am hoping that pending the establishment of purpose-built Day Centres, other premises within the Borough will be able to provide limited Day Centre accommodation. I am a firm believer in the fact that the full use of the Domiciliary Services and Day Centre care can go a long way towards minimising the need for persons to be taken into residential care. Homelessness, unfortunately, still remains a big problem and during 1967 there was a serious increase which could not have been foreseen several years ago. |
0316613e-150c-4bf1-af72-4d86214b7089 | Urgent steps will need to be taken to resolve the position and what had originally been the forecast of Homeless Family Units necessary in Barnet will need to be increased. Whilst, as was expected, the year continued to provide periods of considerable stress and strain, I should like to record my thanks for the assistance given by all members of the staff and to acknowledge the interest and devotion to duty which they displayed. The Borough continues to be well served by Voluntary Organisations operating in the various fields of social welfare work. Their activities are widely appreciated and form a valuable adjunct to the Local Authority's own services and responsibilities. 2 Finally, I would like to say that it is with deep sincerity that I record ray thanks for the support and encouragement given to me by the Chairmen, Vice-Chairmen and Members of the Health and Welfare Committees and I acknowledge with gratitude the assistance and co-operation of the Chief Officers of other Departments. |
