There were only 50 cases of Scarlet Fever reported in the school population in 1939, and the cases were very mild in type. |
7d46ae43-bf1d-4fe8-b471-f4012e644f8f | There was a great difference in the incidence of Infectious Diseases in Acton apparently due to evacuation—the scattering of the child population resulting in no cases of Measles, very few cases of Diphtheria, and a big drop in the number of cases of Scarlet Fever. In Acton in 1937 there were 134 cases of Scarlet Fever. in 1938 there were 108 ,, ,, ,, ,, in 1939 there were 50 ,, ,, ,, „ The cases were distributed as follows:— Acton Wells Priory 7 Beaumont Park 12 Rothschild 3 Berrymede 3 Southfield — Derwentwater 6 Roman Catholic - John Perryn 18 West Acton 1 None of these cases occurred after the outbreak of war. diphtheria. There were only 3 cases of Diphtheria reported in the school population in 1939. |
418a9f5f-ea43-4558-9ea1-6fd032833baa | They were distributed as follows:— Acton Wells 1 Beaumont Park 1 Southfield 1 Two of these children had not been previously inoculated against Diphtheria,—one had been inoculated 3 years previously. Endeavours are still being made to continue to protect the school and pre-school population against Diphtheria but, not unnaturally, the figures for 1939 are very poor. It is impossible to give the percentage figures of inoculated children in our schools, as the data are so upset by evacuation. As stated in the Annual Report of 1938, the post Schick test has been dropped and children are given an extra inoculation in place of it. Parents are advised to continue to have their children given one inoculation every three years until admitted to the Senior School, after which all children are Schick tested before additional inoculations are given. |
5f345543-0806-4ce9-8090-cc4962117ecd | It has been impossible to gauge how the scheme has worked, as 1939 was not a normal year and no conclusions can be drawn, but the cases of Diphtheria were few and the procedure found to be much less of an ordeal for small children than the methods previously adopted. Inoculation figures for 1939 are given as under. Diphtheria Immunisation, 1939. School. Primary Schick test. Inoculations with A.P.T. Re-inoculation alter Schick test after 3 years. Pos.

Scabies continues to be a serious cause of irregularity of school attendance, and a great nuisance to all concerned. |
d4e8ce5e-0715-4eef-b67f-fafdacab27bf | There appears to have been a very widespread outbreak of Scabies all over the country, Acton is not alone in being infested with the disease. Treatment is carried out in the first instance at home, the parent is given careful typed instructions and sufficient ointment to carry out the necessary treatment. Arrangements are made to sterilise the clothing and bedding of infected persons, and advice is given that all children in a family should be treated similarly and simultaneously whether suffering from Scabies or not. Only in that way can there be a chance of getting rid of the disease quickly. If home treatment fails, recourse is had to cleansing baths, for which Acton has an arrangement with the Borough of Kensington. In the great majority of cases, it should be perfectly possible to cure Scabies by home treatment, and nothing shows up the mother who is not prepared to take pains to look after her children, quicker than the length of time taken to get the children clear. |
5d5bd558-608f-4957-b224-e42a22136808 | It is worth noting that from September to the end of the year, several children were brought back from the evacuation areas by their parents because they were found to have contracted Scabies while away, and there were one or two instances of apparent failure on the part of the foster mothers to give the children adequate attention for the complaint. The Table attached will show how widespread the cases in Acton were in the first half of the year. There were in all 61 cases, and 40 families were affected, 3 families being affected more than once.

The meals were dispensed from 7 feeding centres, and free milk was supplied at all the schools. |
8512f201-2619-4aeb-a38b-1075e82ee911 | In accordance with previous policy, meals and milk were provided during school holidays, and attendances were sufficiently good to make the continuance of the scheme worth while. Free meals and milk were granted as formerly after an examination by the School Medical Officers had shown the children to be medically in need of them. Menus were supervised, and suggestions for dishes containing important protective food substances were given by the School Medical Officers. Numbers of meals provided and bottles of milk supplied are much diminished owing to the schools being shut from September until mid November, and then being reopened with lower numbers. Meals supplied at the different centres. |

9e84c9fe-0924-4d88-82da-c03d906e37d2 | 33 new cases of otorrhoea were seen, 24 cleared up with treatment, 2 left Acton while still under treatment, 2 were removed to Hospital, 4 cases did not attend—in two of these cases because it was not possible for the school to send the children to the Clinic, 1 case, on being referred to the Ear Clinic_ was found to be suffering from a mastoid inflammation and was sent to Hospital for operation. 20 cases were referred suffering from Earache. 11 of these were due to a cold in the head and subsided on treatment, 5 were due to irritation from large plugs of wax, 1 was due to the presence in the ear of a large plug of paper, 1 was due to the presence of a polyp in the ear, 2 were due to external otitis. 3 children were seen because of deafness, were referred to Acton Hospital and operated on for removal of tonsils and adenoids. |
364f9222-1eed-4933-b1e4-4c6642941f22 | The Ear Clinic was conducted on the same lines as in 1938, but of course the work was curtailed and disorganised by the Evacuation Scheme. 44 REPORT OF DENTAL CLINIC. The Evacuation scheme, having affected mothers and infants from the welfare clinics as well as school children, has made comparisons of figures with those of the previous year impossible. Work has, however, been going on throughout the whole year. Those children and mothers who did not go away were called up to the clinic for inspection and treatment. From records at the Education Offices we were able to obtain the names and addresses of those who returned and appointments were sent to them. As soon as a sufficient number of children had returned to the schools, inspections were resumed there in the ordinary way. Mr. Goldie's part time assistance has been temporarily discontinued. |

0d285ca2-ce61-4a21-8986-18e32f8ac68d | Borough of Acton ANNUAL REPORT of the Medical Officer of Health together with the Report on the Medical Inspection of Schools FOR THE YEAR 1940 ANNUAL REPORT of the MEDICAL OFFICER OF HEALTH FOR THE YEAR 1940. Public Health Department, Town Hall, Acton, W.3. To the Mayor, Aldermen and Councillors of the Borough of Acton. Ladies and Gentlemen, I beg to submit the annual report on the health of the Borough for the year 1940'. The report of the School Medical Service is given at the end as a separate report. This year's annual report is curtailed, as requested by the Ministry of Health, and contains only the essential information with regard to statistics and general work of the Health department. As a result of Mr. Kinch, Chief Sanitary Inspector, retiring in December, 1939, Mr. Jenkins was appointed Chief Sanitary Inspector. Mr. |
f237b344-54e8-4aee-98c2-610d6401705a | Cackett was appointed as temporary Sanitary Inspector in March, 1940, and the Council in December confirmed his appointment to the permanent staff. The statistics for the Borough show that the Birth Rate per 1,000 of the population is 14.04 as compared with 11.7 for 1939. The death rate for 1940 is 14.7 as compared with 10.1 for 1939. The Infantile Mortality rate of children under 1 year is 58.3 as compared with 59 for 1939. There were two deaths caused by 4 childbirth in 1940, and 4 in 1939. Every endeavour is made by careful ante-natal treatment and advice given to expectant mothers at the ante-natal clinic, to ensure that all is done to avoid any complication during the actual confinement of the mother. |
61837ea8-8ef4-4808-82d7-16d0ac7e1747 | As Civil Defence matters are of such vital importance in our national life, and as the local Authorities are responsible for much of the organisation of Air Raid Precautions, some brief notes are appended with regard to various matters of this branch of the Service. It will be observed that further improvements at the Depots have been carried out. During the year considerable improvements have been made in the condition of the Depots of the Acton Casualty Sen-ice. Sleeping accommodation has been improved by the issue of twotier metal bunks, mattresses and pillows, for the personnel of the Stations, to replace the original camp beds. Individual sleeping equipment, which includes three blankets, one pillow slip and two towels, has now been allocated to all personnel. A house at 59 Gunnersbury Lane has been provided as a resting place for day duty nurses, and protected sleeping accommodation for the night duty shift stationed at Acton Hospital First Aid Post. No. |
3f585412-f169-400f-920e-670917bf14b4 | 11 Gunnersbury Lane has been taken over to accommodate the ambulance staff previously stationed at 28 Gunnersbury Lane. This step has proved to be very satisfactory, as besides No. 11 being a far more suitable building, it is adjacent to the garage. The caretaker's house at East Acton School has been acquired for the use of the ambulance personnel stationed there. An extra room has been granted by the Director of Education for the female personnel at Acton Wells School. Further improvement has been made in the sleeping accommodation at Stretcher Party Post No. 3, as the Middlesex County Council authorised the building of protective accommodation in which 45 persons can rest and sleep. A canteen has been installed at this Post and is entirely run by the personnel. I feel you should be informed of the splendid way in which the A.R.P. Casualty Sendees behaved during the aerial bombardments and carried out their duties in an exemplary manner often at considerable personal risk. |

Laboratory Facilities.— During this year the Laboratory has been re-opened for the examination of swabs and sputa. Examination required for specimens other than those previously mentioned a risent either to the London Counties Laboratory or to the Ministry of Health Emergency Medical Service Laboratory at Ealing. Ambulance Facilities.— The Acton and Wembley Joint Hospital Committee possesses an Ambulance for the removal of infectious cases from the Acton and Wembley areas. |
3a1de150-3508-4008-87e0-5130826dc543 | Two ambulances for accident and non-infectious cases are at the Fire Station and are available at all hours. Nursing in the Home.— Since April 1st a combined Committee of the Public Health Committee and the Acton Hospital Council have administered the arrangements for nursing patients in their homes. This arrangement has worked satisfactorily, and during the year 381 sick patients were nursed and the nurses paid 11,319 visits to the homes of the patients. Hospital Provision.— The Isolation Hospital is now managed by the Acton and Wembley Joint Hospital Committee. The Acton Voluntary Hospital is still carrying on although admission of cases is limited since the Hospital is a Casualty Clearing Hospital for A.R.P. Casualties. Maternity and Child Welfare.— Every endeavour has been made to maintain the Ante-Natal and Maternity and Child Welfare Clinics, and the same number of clinics have been held this year as in 1939. |
83d8fe3f-80ce-456a-bbc6-8a3be4a9c5b0 | Maternal Mortality.— There were two maternal deaths during 1940; one death occurred in Hospital as a result of obstetrical shock following a difficult and prolonged labour necessitating delivery by means of forceps; the other was the result of miscarriage, death being due to puerperal sepsis. Infantile Mortality.— There were 43 deaths of infants under 1 year, giving an Infantile Mortality figure of 58.3. Day Nursery.— As mentioned in the Annual Report for 1939, the Acton Day Nursery was evacuated to a house near Woking. Owing to the condition of overcrowding that occurred there, further 9 premises were acquired at Hook Heath near Woking. Acting on a a Ministry Circular, the local Supervising Authority for Maternity and Child Welfare in the reception area was made responsible for the administration of the Home, and since the date of thisi Circular the Surrey County Council have taken over the administration of the Nursery. |
90aa1242-a5f3-402e-8392-ea9f107bd25f | Since being evacuated to Woking, all the children have improved in physical appearance, brought about doubtless by the regularity of a well balanced diet in addition to the general training necessaw for young children. Nurse Children.— The number of Nurse children visited by the Infant Life Protection visitors during 1940 was 21. This low figure as compared with previous years may be accounted, for by the fact that Acton is an evacuation area. Milk for Children and Mothers,.— The Ministry of Health arranged for children between 2 and 5 years to receive daily a pint of liquid milk, and this has been extended to Expectant and Nursing Mothers. In May 1940 the Ministry of Health further provided a National Dried Milk for young babies. Both these schemes are administered by the Food Executive Office on behalf of the Ministry of Health and Food. Actual figures of milk provided under this scheme cannot be given as the local Food Officer is unable to provide me with this information. |
1f1ae236-b81d-4c9e-804e-be9fbfa59b77 | He has been instructed by the Ministry of Food that such information is confidential. During the year 1940 the Maternity and Child Welfare Committee sold 8,083 lbs. of proprietary dried foods and issued free 3,886 lbs. As a consequence of the issue of milk by the Ministry of Food, there is a considerable drop in the amount of dried food sold and issued free by the Maternity and Child Welfare Committee. TABLE 1.

The number of notifications of Infectious Diseases received this year was 214. From Table 5 the various infectious diseases can be examined; there were 26 cases of Scarlet Fever and 7 cases of Diphtheria. There were 5 cases of Enteric Fever with one death. The person who died as a result of Enteric Fever was diagnosed post mortem and on investigation no cause could be traced. |
1b61d389-dd62-4141-9540-461edf20713d | Of the four other cases, no definite source of infection could be found, but as all four girls were new arrivals to the area from the North of England, enquiries were made, but no cases of Enteric had occurred in the area from which these cases arrived. During 1940 the number of cases of Scabies sent to the Health Department for cleansing by the Local Authority has increased from 43 cases in 1939 to 63 cases. This probably represents only a proportion of the actual number of infected persons in the Borough, and one is inclined to the view that, should persons continue to live in Air Raid Shelters during the next winter when raids may be expected, then cases of Scabies will increase unless prompt action is taken when cases are first recognised. |

Dr. Thomas, Medical Superintendent of the Acton and Wembley Joint Hospital up to September 1940, has furnished the following report: — The total number of patients admitted to the Hospital in the year was 338—5 more than in 1939, and comparing with 633 in 1938, and an average of 610 in the four years 1934-1938. Of the total number of patients admitted, 20 of them were from outside districts, 84 were refugee children and 22 were soldiers billeted in Acton and Wembley. Although the number of admissions of Acton and Wembley residents is lower than that of the previous year, the conditions are so abnormal that no conclusions can be drawn. |
d8762e0c-46f5-4f78-8de9-ffff1c92d801 | > It will probably be remembered that the Central Authorities could not arrange for the establishment at the hospital of a Casualty Clearing Station, as it was considered to be too near danger zones, and might become a target of enemy planes, but it was one of the few fever hospitals in the immediate neighbourhood, in the grounds of which no hostile bombs fell during the year. This accounts for the admissions of cases from outside districts during the year. We also had to send cases to outside hospitals, but that was because of our inability to provide for the isolation of that particular disease at the time. It will be noticed that during the year, persons suffering from 16 diseases were admitted, compared with 9 diseases in 1939, yet we were fortunate to escape cross-infection. Scarlet Fever. 125 cases of Scaret Fever were admitted, and no deaths; 7 of the cases were diagnosed not to be Scarlet Fever—3 from Acton, 3 from Wembley, and 1 from Ealing. |
fe766964-86b0-482e-b008-3711585c2ecd | 9 cases were admitted from houses where a patient had been discharged from hospital less than a month previously. Only one mastoid operation was performed during the year. Diphtheria. 46 cases of Diphtheria were admitted, with one death. Nine of these were probably wrongly diagnosed before admission, 5 from Acton, 3 from Wembley and 1 from Hendon. 14 Cerebro-Spinal Meningitis. During the Spring of the year 14 cases of Cerebro-Spinal Meningitis were admitted; one of these was a contact, the other cases were severe but there was only one death. In the Autumn a case which proved fatal was also admitted. One of the most remarkable achievements in connection with the disease has been the success which has been obtained in its treatment with M & B 693, by means of which the mortality has been materially reduced. In the last War, the mortality in some outbreaks of the disease exceeded 50%. |
9fd3e6f5-37ae-4351-8c12-362a22ee749f | The bacteriological examination of the Cerebro-Spinal fluid was done at the Ministry of Health Regional Laboratory at Ealing. German Measles. 31 cases of German Measles were admitted, of which 16 were soldiers billeted in the district. Most of the cases occurred in the early Spring. There were no deaths. Measles. 80 cases of Measles were admitted, of which 74 were refugee children. In the early summer, the buildings connected with the Wembley Stadium and Wembley Pool were adapted for the reception of refugees from Gibraltar. The children were immediately examined there, and following a case of Measles which occurred 'on board one of the ships which carried the refugees, an outbreak occurred amongst those accommodated at Wembley. The refugees admitted were as follows: — Under 1 year. 1-2 years. 2-3 years. 3-4 years. 18 19 8 6 4-5 years. |
70bcb466-7e80-4758-bde4-84193fc3680d | 5-10 years. Over 10 years. 6 15 2 Certain aspects of the outbreak were interesting. Not only was there no death, but with one exception there were no complications. One of the children at the end of the second week developed a night temperature for about 9 days, and then made an uninterrupted recovery. All the other children recovered quickly without any complications. 15 This result was obtained though the majority of the children were at an age when complications from Measles are common. As a matter of interest it might be mentioned that all the cases were treated with M & B 693, as a possible preventive of pulmonary complications though the figures are too small in themselves to be of much use. There were other factors which influenced the results. Most of the cases occurred during the warm months of the year, and a summer epidemic of Measles is always less fatal than a winter one. |
6e1d2185-28f6-4739-94a0-4fb9d1c6cb18 | The cases arose from one source of infection, and it used to be held that an epidemic became more fatal if the infection was mixed and massive. The vast majority of the cases were diagnosed and treated in an early stage of the illness. Many of the cases were sent into 'hospital before the rash had appeared. In the early or catarrhal stages, Koplik's spots appear on the mucous membrane of the mouth, and many of the cases were diagnosed and sent to the hospital on the appearance of Koplik's spots. It is at this stage that the disease is most infectious, and this early diagnosis not only limited the infection and probably saved many other children, from developing, the disease, but contributed also to the good results of hospital treatment. In general practice, the doctor is not called in to see the patient at this early stage, and thus does not have a good chance of diagnosing the case in the catarrhal stage. |
380aec02-68a8-4ec1-8039-1df5b314da93 | It is usually only possible to detect these early cases when a careful inspection of contacts is made, which in this instance was made by the doctors in charge of the medical supervision of the refugee children."

5bddedd0-0c7f-4223-8fab-d79481e74a4a | To the Chairman and Members of the Acton Education Committee. Ladies and Gentlemen, We beg to submit the following report upon the schools and school children of Acton for the year 1940. Following the request of the Board of Education, the report will be short and the Statistical Tables have been yet further condensed. This has been a very difficult school year, the school population fluctuating constantly. Compulsory school attendance was re-introduced as from 26th February, 1940, for all children for whom reasonable shelter accommodation could be provided. No children under 5 were admitted to school. 29 In June a second large evacuation of children took place and thereafter the " Trickle " Scheme operated. In spite of this, in September 1940 there were 3,237 children on the school rolls, and at the end of 1940 there were still nearly 2,000 children on the rolls. Attendance at school was bad, especially following heavy enemy action in the autumn. |
d9579639-2eb0-4b4f-a196-658a9ab24d42 | Children who had been evacuated came back and were re-evacuated sometimes as often as three or four times. In some cases the children's return was completely justified, as the parent would find on visiting that the child was uncomfortable, unhappy, or unclean. Several children were brought back because they had contracted Scabies. The 'milk in schools' scheme was begun in May 1940 and free meals and milk were supplied to necessitous children. The numbers of such children in Acton were much less than in peace time as there was almost no unemployment and in a number of cases both parents were working. Children whose parents wished it, were allowed to have school meals and pay for them, but in most cases arrangements were made at home with relatives or friends. All the usual clinics operated throughout the year, Minor Ailment, Dental, Ophthalmic, Rheumatic, Nose & Ear Clinics, etc. There were no changes in the staff and work was carried on as normally as possible. |

The bulk of children inoculated were of pre-school age, which is as it should be and a step in the right direction. It is in the early years of life that Diphtheria is particularly dangerous. 34 TABLB II. DIPHTHERIA IMMUNISATION—1940. School. |
