Infectious Disease. During the year, 873 notifications of infectious disease were received. Measles, caused 514 of, these notifications, respiratory tuberculosis 108, pertussis 87, scarlet fever 55, pneumonia 45. There is little to comment upon concerning the above cases, but during the year a large epidemic of poliomyelitis developed throughout Great Britain. |
427506d5-bd2e-4007-8b33-2b8eeb686bca | Of this disease, ten cases were notified, but five more cases which occurred in Acton were not notified, having been admitted to hospital. Of these fifteen cases, four cases were confirmed as anterior poliomyelitis with paralysis, four were unconfirmed and seven were considered abortive cases. Precautions were taken as recommended by the Minister of Health, and all contacts followed up. Ten cases of diphtheria were notified, five being confirmed and no case occurring in a child known to have been immunized,. The 19 ages were, respectively, 20, 22, 31, 12 and 6 years old. Of the unconfirmed cases admitted to hospital, the ages were 4 years, 13 years, 13 years 28 years and eleven months respectively. Diphtheria Immunisation. Immunisation was carried out along the lines indicated in previous reports. |
546501b9-1a15-4608-ba1f-f4fd0827672f | Advertisements were placed monthly in the local paper, giving times and places of, inoculation clinics, and posters were displayed in prominent places. In addition to this, the following routine was practised: (1) A notice was sent to the parent of each 6 months' old child. (2) All Infant Welfare attenders were approached. (3) All children admitted to Day Nurseries were offered protection. (4) Health Visitors combed their districts for children who did not attend Welfares, and urged their protection. (5) Head Teachers gaveforms of consent to new school entrants. (6) Prior to school medical inspections, questionnaires were sent to each parent asking, inter alia, whether the child had been inoculated. If the answer were in the negative a form of consent was. sent to the parent. All immunised cases are followed up and, at the end of three years, each child is offered a boost dose. |
5b1f2c0b-2884-4646-8202-a22892dc3c46 | At the age of 11 years or over, this is preceded by a Schick test. All children under 5 who have not had the disease, are inoculated against Whooping Cough at the same time as they l are inoculated against Diphtheria, i.e., they have three doses, of protective material at monthly intervals. 52.5% of the population under 5 years of age is now protected, and 71% of the population aged 5 to 14.

Since the Annual Report of 1946 some progress in Housing has been made, more particularly on The Vale site where some blocks are nearing completion. The following summary sets out the position at the close of 1947: Temporary Prefabricated Houses. Completed and Occupied 119 Under construction 131 250 New Permanent Dwellings.

One informal sample of Gin was found not to be normal Gin but appeared to be contaminated with Witch Hazel. |
831d3a04-c1aa-41a2-b17c-166394c71504 | Efforts to secure an official sample similarly contaminated have, so far, been unsuccessful. An informal sample of Iron Tonic Tablets was 38.7% deficient in ferrous iron but a subsequent official sample was genuine. 20 SECTION C. SANITARY CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE AREA. Water Supply. The Borough is supplied with water by the Metropolitan Water Board. The whole of the population is supplied from the public water mains direct to each house and the supply has been satisfactory. In addition to the public supply, there are three deep wells in the district, two at factory premises, and one at the Public Baths. Samples of water from these wells have been taken from time to time and on submission to bacteriological and chemical examinations, have proved satisfactory. Drainage and Sewerage. All the dwelling houses are provided with water closets and are connected to the sewerage system which discharges, by an arrangement with the L.C.C., into the London sewers. |
ac9f8197-460d-4bd3-b2ce-dc055080704e | Stormwater is filtered and emptied into the Thames. Public Cleansing. The amount of house refuse collected by the Council in 1947 was 15,639 tons and trade refuse collected amounted to 846 tons. A total weight of, 11,838 tons was destroyed by the destructor and 4,647 tons was removed to controlled shoots. In addition to the foregoing, 2,080 tons of Salvage was sold. Rodent Control. The Borough has been maintained free from major infestation by rats, due largely to the continued service of maintenance at business premises following baiting, trapping, poisoning, and gassing operations where new infestations occurred, with the co-operation of occupiers of such premises. All complaints from dwelling house occupiers received immediate attention, and the District Sanitary Inspectors carried out complete investigations where they observed evidence of infestation of the slightest degree. |
2451e9ea-9f3c-4e9d-ba18-8ed723c9f02f | The work of investigation destruction and maintenance, has involved a total of, 1,519 visits by the Council's Rodent Operatives, 1,124 to business premises and 395 to dwellings, in addition to inspections, by the Sanitary Inspectors as noted elsewhere. 30 Inspection of Factories. There are 628 premises within the borough in connection with which the Sanitary Inspectors make inspection from time to time to ascertain that the provisions of the Factories Act, 1937, and the Sanitary Accommodation Regulations are complied with. In addition to this routine work, hygiene of canteens etc., has received attention, and advice as to the fitness of food for human consumption given as necessary. Sanitary Inspection of the Area. The following, table includes the tabular statement by the Chief Sanitary Inspector under article 27 (18) of the Sanitary Officers (Outside London) Regulations. 1935. Tabulated Statement of Inspections and Details of Work carried out by Sanitary Inspectors. |

The amount of Unsound Food surrendered and disposed of by way of salvage, for animal feeding, chemical manure, or by destruction, was lower than in the previous year. The number of cans of Meat, Fish, Fruit and Vegetables, etc., was 22,855; of which amount, much was sent by the Ministry of Food into Food Factories 33 within the Borough for manufacturing purposes under the surveillance of the Council's Sanitary Inspectors. |
ec99475c-79eb-4a18-9b8a-9a8c3d03089a | Twenty-three complaints as to food unfit for human consumption were recorded and submitted for consideration to the Public Health Committee ; in three cases the Council prosecuted the persons responsible for contravention of the Food and Drugs Act, 1938, and in each case the defendants were fined and costs were awarded to the Council. Milk. Regular inspection of the 13 dairies within the Borough have shown them to be maintained in a hygienic condition. The Pasteurising and Bottling depot in Bollo Lane has continued processing to capacity, with no cause for complaint. Of 153 samples of milk taken during the year, only three were unsatisfactory—one failing in the Methylene Blue test, and two failing in the Phosphatase test. Water. Samples of water totalling 35 taken from various sources in the Borough were submitted to bacteriological and chemical examinations in 27 and 8 cases respectively, and all results indicated satisfactory supplies. Ice Cream. |
18be8c57-ab36-4fbc-8a78-53d69305cd99 | With the coming into force of the Ice Cream (Heat Treatment) Regulations 1946, a number of Ic.e Cream manufacturers in the Borough immediately ordered new plant and machinery, in order that their processing should be in conformity with the regulations as early as possible. In only two cases has the complete plant been delivered, and generally there has been a difficulty of obtaining coolers and thermometers. Some small manufacturers have adopted the "cold mix " process, and others have decided to purchase manufactured Ice Cream wholesale. It may be said that the effect of the regulations and the prescribed laboratory examinations of samples has led to a product with an improved bacteriological standard. Of 63 samples taken during the year, 22 gave indications that there were deficiencies in the operation of the plant, or carelessness in handling the product, close inspection of the premises and plant and follow-up sampling resulted in a quick return to a satisfactory standard in the defaulting cases. 34 Diseases of Animals. |
837f989c-f90a-4436-a19a-528b7eaa019c | During the early Summer, Fowl Pest became prevalent in the country generally, and 3 cases were confirmed within the Borough. Precautions as to disinfection of premises and slaughter of poultry were taken and thus the spread of the disease prevented. On one occasion only Acton was included in "an infected area" Order on account of Foot and Mouth Disease, and 114 licences authorising the movement of animals were granted. Slaughterhouses. The Slaughterhouses, in Atlas Road and Hanbury Road have been in commission throughout the year, and the carcase and offal of every animal slaughtered have been examined as to their fitness for human food. The demand for horseflesh for human food is sustained, there being a further increase in the number of horses slaughtered during the year as compared with 1946. The incidence of Tuberculosis in Pigs is a little higher than in previous years as will be noted from the figures below. No case of Tuberculosis in Horses was noted during the year. |

4f0ea94e-4abc-48d9-a5da-17a1fd261aec | To the Chairman and Members of the School Health Committee. Ladies and Gentlemen, I beg to submit the following report upon the School Health Service for the year 1947. All Clinics were open throughout the year and figures are given in the report. Most of the work has still been carried out in the Clinic at 45 Avenue Road, in its inadequate and out of date premises. The figures of attendances at the Minor Ailment Clinic are on the increase—in 1946, the number being 5,023, and in 1947 the number was 6,079. There has also been an increase in the attendances at the Eye and Speech Therapy Clinics. The number of children at the Special School has doubled from 21 in 1946 to 40 in 1947, this increase was mainly due to 12 children being sent from Ealing. |
59384fb1-cf92-46a5-a34b-043bf3f080e9 | The visits of the School Nurses paid to the homes has shown a considerable increase, from 559 in 1946 to 861 in 1947. Infectious Diseases among school children have decreased, the number of cases of scarlet fever in 1946 was 56 and in 1947 dropped to 34, whilst the number of cases of diphtheria fell from 12 to 2. During the year, the number on the school roll was 7,123. Immunisation sessions were held continuously once a week during the year and a good attendance was maintained. As a matter of routine, every child is examined twice a term by the Health Visitor or School Nurse. Verminous children are 38 excluded from school for 48 hours and are then seen at the Clinic. If fit, they are re-admitted to school. If still verminous, the parent is warned and advice given as to the best methods of cleansing. |
4b456ee6-53b9-4c44-9490-68325463f9c2 | If the parent desires, arrangements are made for the child to be cleansed at the Medicinal Baths, North Kensington. Before ending this report, one must thank all the staff of the School Health Service for their co-operation and loyal support throughout the year. Your obedient servant, GEORGE E. B. PAYNE.

Brander. SCHOOL DENTAL REPORT FOR 1947. Not much useful comparison with the previous year's figures can be made because, owing to Mrs. Behr's absence and resignation, we were this year reduced to one Dental Officer for an even longer period—over 4 months. Although, however, the number of treatment sessions was less, actually more patients, were treated. This was partly due to the fact that the number of extractions was greater, a smaller number of gas sessions being missed, and partly because a larger proportion of temporary teeth were treated with Silver Nitrate. |
32829f1b-07c9-4464-95b6-ed635c0664c1 | This latter course was adopted because it was felt that, with the continual shortage of staff and premises,, while not wishing to reduce the time spent on the conservation of permanent teeth more than absolutely necessary, treatment with Silver Nitrate was better than discouraging and neglecting the large numbers requiring and desiring conservation of the temporary dentition. The acceptance rate for school children is 83.1%. This sharp rise on the 65.9% of the previous year is gratifying, but may be due partly to more cases, being brought over from that year. This also applies to Mothers in the M. & C.W. section, the acceptance rate for whom stands at 82.96% and for infants at 90.84%. In the latter section, however, figures for all treatment have increased. Thirteen school children were referred to the specialist Dental Officer for treatment and 87 to the orthodontic clinic. |
6a7b45e4-8e04-4103-8b13-c1f01c506a58 | The most useful function of this report must be to stress, the urgent necessity of solving the problem of space so that the services of existing staff may be used to better advantage, and the appointment of at least one more Dental Officer so that Acton may have a more adequate dental service and that we may approach nearer to fulfilling the requirements, of the Ministry of Health.

During the earlier part of the year, three sessions weekly were held at the Priory School. From September onwards, after the appointment of an Assistant Speech Therapist by Middlesex County Council, it was possible to double the sessions on Wednesdays. |
8ed6715d-a9cc-437a-a776-3a6320a8fad8 | In addition to the regular treatment of individual cases, time is allotted for preliminary interviews with diagnosis; for giving advice to parents; for reviewing cases where no defect was noted at the first interview and for following up cases which have been discharged. Also, seven school departments have been visited. A total of 79 appointments for parents were made; 56 attended. 23 failed first appointments but only 4 failed to attend subsequently. 45 50 children have received regular treatment either for long or short periods. Of these:— 9 have been discharged cured. 2 left school. 12 were irregular in attendance. Of the 27 who require a further period of treatment: 9 are making very good progress. 16 are making satisfactory progress. 1 very little progress. 1 has attended only for a very short time. There are now 5 on the waiting list and one awaiting a preliminary interview. Eileen Richnell. SPECIAL SCHOOL. |

General Provision of Health Services in the Area. Laboratory Facilities. The Ministry of Health Emergency Medical Service, Section 6, provides a Pathological Service at the King Edward Memorial Hospital Laboratory at Ealing. |
ca700172-6cc5-44d7-acb8-1be317bb22be | 11 Having this laboratory so close to Acton is a great asset, as not only can our specimens for diphtheria, tuberculosis, etc., be dealt with readily, but also samples of milk can be taken for the methylene blue test and phosphatase test. Specimens for Chemical Test are sent elsewhere. The following Table gives the types, and number, of specimens submitted for examination. Type. No. of Specimens examined. Throat and Nose swabs 589 Sputum for T.B. 50 Fæces 124 Methylene Blue Reductase Tests on Milk and Ice-Cream 182 Ambulance Facilities. From January 1st until July 5th, the ambulance service was administered by the Acton Borough Council. Since July the Middlesex County Council have been responsible for this service. Nursing in the Home. |
eb45c0ff-8b47-46e9-83c0-0805baf01a61 | , The facilities provided by Acton Hospital for visiling the homes of sick persons to carry out treatment were continued up to July 5th, and since that date this service has been aken over and administered by the Middlesex County Council. The number of sick persons under care during the year was 579, necessitating 16,988 visits. Hospital Provision. Since July 5th the hospitals serving this area are under the administration of the N.W. Hospital Regional Board. Patients are still admitted to the Central Middlesex Hospital and Acton Hospital, and by use of the Emergency Bed Service, a doctor can obtain admission of a patient. This letter method is for acute cases only; the admission of chronic sick, especially the old, for hospital treatment is not so easy. 12 Since July 5th the late Public Assistance Institutions are only admitting adult persons who can help themselves, so consequently, the chronic sick not being able to help themselves are considered to need medical treatment. |
a98ffd79-12c5-4961-a5ef-95ee2a054b10 | Since the acute cases are more urgent there is a long delay before admission takes place after a request has been made. The Hospital Administrators may fail to realise that a chronic case can become an acute case. Maternity and Child Welfare. Palmerston Road Mission Hall was opened as a Clinic for Welfare and Maternity purposes on the 8th March, 1948. There are therefore now five Centres accommodating six Health Visitors' districts. (1) The School Clinic, Avenue Road (Two Health Visitors' districts served by this Centre). (2) Steele Road Mission Hall, Acton Green. (3) John Perryn School, East Acton. (4) St. Gabriel's Church Hall, Noel Road, North West Acton. (5) Palmerston Road Hall, South Acton. As in the previous year, two weekly sessions were held for each Health Visitor's district, one with a doctor in attendance, and one without. |
