The Regional Hospital Boards of the N.W. Metropolitan Area which includes Acton is responsible for hospital treatment of the sick. The most difficult cases for which to obtain treatment are old persons,, or chronic sick who become acutely ill or who are in the terminal stage of, their illness. These types of cases need continuous care and treatment, and this cannot be given in the home. National Assistance Act, 1948. No cases have been dealt with under Section 47 of the National Assistance Act, 1948, but in those cases which have come to our notice it has been possible, by co-operating with the local hospital, to arrange for these persons to be admitted. The Borough of Acton carries out its obligations under Section 50 of this Act. 13 Maternity and Child Welfare. |
eef0ffd9-1255-4012-a451-ab34a2998acb | Palmerston Road Mission Hall was opened as a Clinic for Welfare and Maternity purposes on the 8th March, 1948.

Advertisements were placed monthly in the local papers giving time and places of inoculaton clinics, and posters were displayed in prominent places. |
77c663de-39ae-43dc-ac23-1e0c06e8d014 | 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 gave forms 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. At the age of 11 years or over, this is preceded by a Schick test. |
3ed90669-50ca-494b-89b3-eef7bcf94559 | All children under 5 who have not had the disease, are inoculated against Whooping Cough at the same time as they are inoculated against Diphtheria, i.e., they have three doses of protective material at monthly intervals. 56.3% of the population under 5 years of age is now protected, and 82.1% of the population aged 5 to 14.

Four cases of Diphtheria were notified during the year. Two in children 1-2 years; one between 3 and 4 years and one between 10 and 14 years. Of these cases, the last only was considered to be Diphtheria and it occurred in a boy who had been immunised but was due for a boost dose. |
3fcc99d4-a0e4-4676-8f2d-3bbbcd1b8da0 | There were no deaths from Diphtheria in immunised or non-immunised persons.. The number of cases of measles notified were 439, with two deaths, one in a child who was mentally backward (imbecile) and the other in a child who died under an operation for appendicitis,. and measles was considered a contributory cause of death. The case notified as Dysentery was on arrival at hospital diagnosed as enteritis, and salmonella typhi murium was isolated. Sixteen cases of Poliomyelitis were notified and three others were admitted to hospital as suspected Poliomyelitis,, but the diagnosis was not confirmed.. There were four deaths at ages 4 years a months, 4 years, 6 months, and 11 months. The four-year-old child was at school the day before he died, and the brother, six days after his brother was taken ill, was notified as suffering from Poliomyelitis. |
58bc5e26-1fb1-49e3-9445-46b0e601ee6d | The brother, who was aged 6 years 4 months recovered. The ages of those who were affected but recovered were one under a year, one 11/4 years old, three 2 years old, one 3i years old, three 4 years old, one 6 years, old and one 9 years old. There were two adults—one female who worked at a hospital suffered a mild attack and the remaining case is interesting, being an adult male whose wife was working in the "Polio" ward of a large fever hospital. Another interesting case is that of a child who was taken ill at a holiday camp, saw the Camp Doctor who prescribed a tonic, and a few days after arriving home became weak in her limbs. The first case occurred in September and the last case on the 27th December. The majority of cases (10) were in the months of October. 3 in November and 3 in December. |
ba8ef945-d18b-4b5a-aa55-62c22ed6554a | Two cases of food poisoning were notified in two separate families in which infection was not due to association. One boy came home ill from holiday camp and the salmonella typhi murium was isolated from the stool. 21 Year of Birth No. of Children Known Contact F. A. U. |

There were 14 deaths from Pulmonary, and 2 deaths from Non-Pulmonary Tuberculosis duing the year. The following Table gives the age incidence of new cases of the disease in 1949, and of deaths from the same cause. During 1949 I investigated the number of children who attended the Clinic whose parents or guardians were concerned about their child's health for such reasons as that a child was an intimate contact of a case of Pulmonary Tuberculosis or because the parents suspected the child had been in contact with a case of Pulmonary Tuberculosis. I included cases which the Clinic Medical Officers had referred to the Ealing Chest Clinic. I have tabulated the number of cases under the year of birth with the results of the investigation, and have traced the known contacts. |
acfe57f8-4c24-4927-9c9c-309180f0c079 | The Patch Test is a method of ascertaining a person's reaction to tuberculosis, and employs a jelly which contains Tuberculin. This jelly is applied on a plaster to the skin for twenty-four hours. If a reddening of the skin occurs it is apparent that the person has, or has had, a Primary Complex. The ' Primary Complex' is a term used to denote that a young person has acquired a first infection due to the tubercle bacillus. It is believed that nearly all persons have such an infection and with treatment this condition should become quiescent or heal. But at a later date ill health associated with a further respiratory infection may cause this condition to flare up and cause Pulmonary Tuberculosis. 21 Year of Birth No. of Children Known Contact Neighbour Contact TYPE OF -INFECTION : Patch + Test Primary Complex Meningitis Pulmonary Tuberculosis M.

982310e0-b066-4337-a86d-27218986ae6d | U = Uncle. All known contacts suffered from Pulmonary Tuberculosis. Two cases of children not included had Surgical Tuberculosis (infection of a joint by tubercle bacilli). 22 From these figures one notices that of the 56 cases, nine developed a Primary Complex and one case had acute Meningitis, and the remainder were at the time free from infection. Eight had positive Patch Test and ten Were negative, and of the remaining thirty-eight no observations were made. Analysis of the Contacts shows that the source of the infection might arise in eight mothers, seventeen fathers, two aunts and one uncle, and six neighbours who were in the same house. Twentytwo contacts are named, but in several of these during the examination of the child the parent suspected, or vaguely suspected that the child had been in contact with a case of Pulmonary Tuberculosis. |
3443afe6-0764-4e41-ad19-e9ebeb64c238 | As the parent was not sure it was impossible to follow-up the contact, but the child was examined clinically and referred either to the Chest Clinic or kept under observation at the Clinic. I think these figures will illustrate the dangers of children in a house in which one of the members suffers from Pulmonary Tuberculosis. The dangers are greater if all the members sleep in the same room and this should be avoided. I then followed this investigation by Patch Testing a series of children known to be healthy and although six reacted positively, one was able to arrange for these to be examined at the Chest Clinic although three of the positive reactors were attending the Clinic and were considered non-infectious.

f57b52b7-f1d0-46c6-a80e-0e92df967275 | 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. Stormwater is filtered and emptied into the Thames Public Cleansing. The amount of house refuse collected by the Council in 1949 was 16,527 tons and trade refuse collected amounted to 1,175 tons. A total weight of 10,463 tons was destroyed by destructor and 7,239 tons was removed to controlled shoots. |
9dfecdc0-fbbc-43f8-ab62-8bb52e24ad80 | In addition to the foregoing, 2,527 tons of Salvage was sold. Rodent Control. Treatment of the public sewers by the methods approved by the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries, Infestation Control Division, and the consequent reduction of the rat population in the sewers, has undoubtly resulted in a lessened surface infestation. Maintenance treatment of factory and business premises by arrangements with the occupiers at the Council's approved charges has also reduced the need for intensive work on large infestations. More time has been devoted to investigation and treatment necessary in dwelling houses. 30 While complaints have been less frequent than hitherto, any reported nuisance has been the occasion for survey in the immediate area, and for treatment in accordance with block control as advocated by the Ministry. |
6b8f1dab-9d79-4f05-8f47-9dc37766f11c | Investigations, destruction and maintenance have entailed a total of 2,213 visits by Rodent operatives, 1,631 to business premises and 582 to dwellings in addition to inspections by the Sanitary Inspectors as noted elsewhere. Inspection of Factories. There are 655 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. The home addresses of 71 outworkers engaged in work at home for Factories within and outside the Borough, have been visited to ascertain hygienic.conditions and freedom from infectious disease. Sanitary Inspection of the Area. |
de60516b-89d9-4e36-969a-a605e2f07e20 | 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 the Sanitary Inspectors.

The policy of requiring every possible house, flat or tenement to be rendered fit for human habitation in accordance with Section 9 of the Housing Act, '1936, has been maintained, and its effect is seen in the clearing up of many dilapidations and war damage repairs. In the course of normal procedure, 145 Statutory Notices were passed to the Town Clerk in default of the Owners not complying with the Council's requirements in due time. Delay has been attributed to a number of reasons. |
7a636fe3-6c26-4591-98a2-316aaa5d8e60 | One common cause is the high cost of necessary repairs in relation to the income from property, while quite frequently a job cannot be proceeded with expeditiously on account of a claim by the owner awaiting decision by the War Damage Commission. The upper part of one house was closed under Section 12 of the Housing Act, 1936, being unfit for human habitation, and as it appeared that it could not be rendered fit at a reasonable cost. Subsequently the Owner carried out the necessary repairs and the closing order was determined The following table indicates the extensive and varied nature of the defects and dilapidations which have been made good following inspection by the Sanitary Inspectors. |

The amount of foodstuffs surrendered owing to deterioration or damage is related to the extensive work of food manufacture and distribution in the Borough. |
9f99ebe6-c370-40e7-a581-d99e81d5e027 | Under the direction of the various Departments of the Ministry of Food, much inferior food material is received into the Borough for manufacturing purposes subject to control by the Local Authority, and the Sanitary Inspectors carry out necessary examinations to ensure that only sound material is used; this accounts generally for the bulk surrenders. Two large wholesale Grocery Depots are within the Borough, and hence surrenders of canned and packeted goods is to this Authority; these surrenders constitute the major part of such foodstuff noted. 34 The following list collated for convenience of record shews some details of the surrenders: — 5,217 containers milk 820 ,, preserves 2,420 „ fish 255 ,, beans and spaghetti 1,087 ,, savouries — soup, pickles, etc. |

f42d5e3a-a9e1-41bd-8fb6-c56a94427213 | Mixed cereals Apart from the foregoing list of surrendered food materials, there were 54 complaints with reference to various foods which were alleged to be contaminated. unsound, out of condition, or unfit for human consumption. All cases were dealt with by-way of special examination of (analysis, and where necessary, premises where manufacture, deposit or sale took place were inspected and circumstances applying to each case investigated, in order to prevent repetition of the cause for complaint. In three cases, the Council prosecuted the firms, or persons responsible for contravention of the Food and Drugs Act, 1938, and fines were imposed by the local Magistrates and costs awarded. 35 The Council. The food comprised three loaves of bread in which found a cigarette end, a piece of wire, and a rusty nail respectively. Milk. |
49119c49-6c24-4a03-8c69-318b4a810ed2 | In the course of frequent visitation by the Sanitary Inspectors &tothe eleven dairies in the Borough, they have been observed to be kept in good condition, and processes of bottling and distribution satisfactory. No complaints have been received as to any Dairy, and of 140 samples of Milk taken, only one failed in the Methylene Blue test; all Phosphatase tests proved satisfactory. The large wholesale pasteurising and bottling centre in Bollo Lane has been maintained in a highly satisfactory condition, and is subject to frequent visitation by Professional and Technical bodies account of the modem plant installation, working arrangements. for milk testing and bacteriological examination. During the year, 50 empty bottles taken from the filling lines of this centre, after cleansing in the mechanical bottle washers, were examined in the Pathological Laboratory of the Ministry of Health and all were found to be sterile. |
b294894e-c411-45e9-9ffd-364c69928edc | These results together with the invariably satisfactory reports of Methylene Blue and Phosphates tests, of the milk processing and bottling, indicate the high standard of efficiency maintained in the Centre. Ice Cream. There was no change during the year in the number of manufacturers of Ice Cream in the Borough, but the number of vendors at registered premises was increased to 68 This increase was due largely to the taking up of Agencies for manufacturers who distribute Ice Cream wrapped as briquettes or inclosed cups or cartons. The sale of Ice Cream in this way is an eminent improvement on the old time method of serving the commodity in cornets, cones or wafers from large containers of cream, though there may be no objection to the latter method under well controlled conditions. Samples of Ice Cream from all sources totalled 57, and confirmed a generally satisfactory state of manufacture and trading. Water. |

D'sease of Animals Act. An outbreak of Foot and Mouth Disease involved the Borough, '"d restriction placed on the movement of cattle and pigs 36 sioned the granting of 274 Movement Licences for animals to be received into a slaughter house at Atlas Road. Slaughterhouses The Slaughterhouses in Adas 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. There was a reduction in the number of horses slaughtered for human food but it may be said that the quality of the flesh was superior to that from killings in previous years. The supply of bacon and pork was almost twice that of the previous year, and the table below indicates a much lower incidence of tuberculosis. |

f5bbbe8e-891c-4021-8dc3-e850ef6d0f97 | The following is a report upon the schools and health of the schoolchildren of Acton for 1949. All existing clinics were open during the year. Furthermore, the services of a chiropodist were made available to the children during 1949 and weekly sessions were opened at Palmerston Road Mission Hall for that purpose. One case of Diphtheria was notified during the year, occuring in a child who had not had his boost dose. The percentage of schoolchildren inoculated against diphtheria was well maintained and on the whole showed a slight rise. Further details will be found in the report of the Medical Officer of Health. The School Meals Service showed considerable increase throughout the year. During 1942 an Acton expectant mother evacuated to Suffolk gave birth in May to triplets girls, and returned to Acton in November of the same year. All three children lived and were seen at School Inspection as Entrants in 1946, and again in 1949. |
ede17d91-71c2-4168-a423-2399c42587c0 | The parents have cared for the children both in regard to body and mind, so that the children do not realise that being triplets is abnormal. I feel that placing on written record the observations made at the Welfare Clinic and School Inspections is of interest in view of the fact that the three children are strong and healthy. Twin births are common (one in 89) but triplet births are rare 40 (One in 7,910). From the notes I append the table showing weight of the triplets at various stages: Date First Child's weight. Second Child's weight. Third child's weight. At Birth 4 lbs. 15 oz. 4 lbs. 6 oz. 3 lbs. 10 oz. 9.11.42 14 lbs. — 13 lbs. 15 oz. 11 lbs. 4½ oz. 12.11.46.

On the 9th November, 1942, the family had returned from Suffolk and it is reported that the two elder triplets were on feeds of Ostermilk and that the youngest one was being breast fed, with Ostermilk as supplementary feeds. At this time the eldest triplet was attempting to sit up in her cot. To all three halibut oil and orange juice were recommended. All the trio had been vaccinated. On the 27th January, 1943 the triplets were on National Dried Milk, and were having broth, Farex and rusks. The second of the triplets had swollen gums (teething). |
5a6f9b7b-5e79-41da-849a-12bc69bbbefb | During 1944 the family returned to Suffolk but were in Acton on 14th September 1945 when the Health Visitor reported the children were on a mixed diet; their nutrition satisfactory and all three had 20 teeth. Their habits were clean and they were making normal progress both mentally and in their speech. They had been immunised against diphtheria. On the 23rd March 1946 it was reported that they were on a progressive mixed diet; all were very active physically but the two youngest were "rather thin" and the eldest was thin and pale. They attended nursery class at 4½ yrs. of age. When seen at medical inspection their nutrition was graded as 'B' and the mental condition was noted as " Good". No congenital defects were noted and all three were physically fit. They had received a 'boost dose' against diphtheria and had suffered only from Rubella and measles. |
87741e51-1dad-427c-831d-622e824bcea1 | 41 The dental card shows that in 1948 the two elder triplets had no dental caries whilst the youngest needed dressings to her teeth in 1948 and 1949. As will be noted, this is a very fine effort on the parents part have reared such fine and healthy triplets during the difficult period of 1939 to 1945.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I submit the annual report of the Health of the Borough of Acton for 1950. I have included such figures relevant to work which is of interest to you although transferred to the County Council. |
c0ed0cac-b1da-4ec5-83de-59542ae83360 | The statistics of the Borough show that of 1,000 children born, 25.1died before attaining the age of 1 year. For England and wales the figure is '29.8. One feels that this figure will not fall lower than this for some time. Of the 25 children who died under 1 year of age, 17 were diagnosed as being premature and did not survive for a week. By " prematurity " is meant the physical condition of a child born before full term, whereby the child has some weakness which lessens its chance of survival. The birth rate is 14.6 and the death rate 11.3 per 1,000 of the Population ; in 1949 these figures were 15.4 and 10.8 respectively. I should like to thank the staff of the Public Health Department for their kind co-operation and loyalty throughout the year. I remain, Your Obedient Servant, George E, B. Payne. |
