Cursing in the Home This service is administered locally by the Middlesex County Council. The number of sick persons under care in Acton during the year was 870, necessitating 22,499 visits. Hospital Provisions The Regional Hospital Board 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. |
c7ea13af-2ab1-4af4-88ad-139b23bfbcef | 12 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 carried out its obligations under Section 50 of this Act. Maternity and Child Welfare There continued to be 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.

71fc157e-1e9a-4a24-a7d4-55c64a328708 | 4 women attended our clinic for their examination. Exercises Class for Mothers The classes for expectant mothers were again a feature of the ante-natal work, the total number of women attending in 1950 being 99, as against 105 in 1949. The total number of attendances was 1411 as compared with 1195 for 1949. Birth Control Clinic As in previous years, arrangements for this purpose with the North Kensington Women's Welfare Association were continued. One clinic weekly was held at the Palmerston Road Hall, South Acton, a nominal fee being paid to the County Council for the use of the premises. 6 patients were referred for advice in 1950, 15 Home Help Scheme At the end of the year there were 8 Full-time Domestic and Home Helps, and 43 Part-time Staff. The following Table shows the number of cases booked and those actually attended: — Maternity: Total number of applications received 84 Number of Cases attended 66 T.B. |
70eb06d8-df9e-4b95-95a9-eea7713203b8 | Cases attended 31 Other Cases attended 311 Day Nurseries Towards the close of 1950 new rules were formulated for admission to Day Nurseries. The immediate effect of the application of these rules was to eliminate the waiting list. Very few of the persons circularised were willing to submit their alleged incomes to such a rigid scrutiny, and accordingly withdrew their applications. A Panel of members of the Area Health Committee was formed to consider new applications and to review those cases already in the nursery. This review was still in progress at the end of the year, and the same four nurseries were in being, namely Bollo Bridge Road, Horn Lane, " St. Dunstans," Friars Place Lane, and " Longcot," Newton Grove " Longcot," Newton Grove. |

c2ae8e0e-774d-487c-9321-b9333922ee8d | the following routine being practised: — (1) A notice was sent to the parent of each 9 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 was in the negative a form of consent was sent to the parent. All immunised cases were followed up and, at the end of three years, each child was offered a boost dose. At the age of 11 years or over, this was preceded by a Schick test. |
63f0e3fe-de3f-467c-a074-dd87f985a3fd | All children under 5 who had not had the disease, were inoculated against Whooping Cough at the same time as they were inoculated against Diphtheria, i.e. they had three doses of protective material at monthly intervals. 60.6% of the population under 5 years of age is now protected, and 85.7% of the population aged 5 to 14.

All were of a mild character, many being nursed at home. Diphtheria One case of diphtheria was notified—a boy in the age group 5-9. He had previously been immunised as an infant but had not had a boost dose. |
b6e3d83e-0cfb-4ddf-82a4-ea021fb6bcc6 | It was a severe attack of the gravis type of bacteria, but after a long convalescence the boy recovered. 453 cases of measles were notified during the year. Of this; number almost all (444) occurred in the age groups 1-9 years. With this epidemic of measles there coincided a great increase in whooping cough, the major part occurring in the age group 1-9 years. One case of para-typhoid was reported in an adult aged 23i He was admitted to Hospital from the Railway Hostel, being a fireman on a train running between Paddington and Bristol. He was primarily diagnosed as a case of appendicitis, but after his appendix was removed he was re-diagnosed as a case of para-typhoid fever and transferred to the Isolation Hospital. On investigation one; could find no trace of the source of infection except that he had purchased ice-cream from a shop in an adjacent borough and had swum in the river Thames. |
584f91f7-c834-48cb-b83b-57dff85a67ac | The M.O.H. in the area in which this man swam assured me there had been no cases of para-typhold fever traced to swimming in that part of the Thames running through his Borough. The M.O.H. in whose area he had partaken of ice-cream also carried out a rigorous inspection and found that the ice-creams sold were in a satisfactory condition. Poliomyelitis 6 cases of Poliomyelitis were notified during the year. Only one of these was a severe case. Paralysis of the limbs occurred and unfortunately the child died. 19 TUBERCULOSIS Age Periods NEW CASES DEATHS Respiratory Non-Respiratory Respiratory Non-Respiratory Male Female Male Female Male Female Male Female 0 – – 2 – – – 2 – – 1 – 2 1 1 – – – – – 5 – – 3 1 – – – – – 15 – 13 13 – |

2893ebee-c447-43ec-ae52-90ed4436024f | 25 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. Ail 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 1950 was 17,894 tons and trade refuse collected amounted to 978 tons. |
b9f0c8d7-c9cf-41f7-b5c2-85bd823c4c7f | A total weight of 3,914 tons was destroyed by destructor and 14,958 tons was removed to controlled shoots. In addition to the foregoing, 2,465 tons of Salvage were sold. Rodent Control Test treatment of public sewers and treatment as necessary have been continued in accordance with the recommendation of the Ministry of Agriculture & Fisheries. The services of the Council's Rodent Destruction staff has been divided as occasion has demanded between disposal of newly discovered rats and mice by intensive treatment, and the regular visitation, examination and treatment of business premises. The great value of this maintenance treatment is that rodents which have gained ingress to premises during hours when buildings are closed down, are not allowed to settle in, and thus infestation in the full sense is prevented. |
285e2bc3-bd9d-47f4-a0a8-2d0993b25428 | 26 Investigation, destruction 'and maintenance have entailed a total of '2,711 visits by the Rodent Operatives, 1,972 to business premises, and 739 to dwellings, in addition to inspections by the Sanitary Inspectors as noted elsewhere. Inspection of Factories There are 672 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, has been given as necessary. Investigations were conducted in relation to alleged cases of food poisoning in factory canteens, but there was no case where evidence was conclusive that food poisoning had in fact occurred in any factory canteen in the Borough. |
be935efd-10f1-46c9-b50c-45dab5afae2d | There was no adverse condition in any canteen which merited action by the department under the Public Health or Food & Drugs Acts. The home addresses of 94 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 The following table includes the tabular statement by the Chief Sanitaiy Inspector under article 27 (18) of the Sanitary Officers (Outside London) regulations, 1935.

451ac480-99a1-4cd3-a6da-678cdbe13449 | 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 Authorand the Sanitary Inspectors carry out necessary examinations for ensure that only sound material is used; this accounts generally for the bulk surrenders. Two large wholesale grocery Depots are within the Borough, this hence surrenders of canned and packeted goods are made to * Authority; these surrenders constitute the maior part of such food stuff noted. The following list collated for convenience shows some details °f the surrendered food-stuffs:— !,resh meat, various 2 tons, 5 cwt. 36 lbs. inned meat, various 1,819 tins. Ham 59 lbs.

2930fa3d-a307-4b50-9531-d63eb43aa32f | During the year there were 52 complaints as to unsound food or food not of the nature, quality or substance demanded, and ini three cases the Council instituted Court Proceedings, resulted as follows: — For the sale of a loaf containing a safety razor blade the bakers of the bread were fined ±12, and costs of four guineas were awarded to the Council. A firm of sausage manufacturers outside the Borough was discharged absolutely in respect of a foreign body; in a pork sausage, but ordered to pay the Council's costs in the prosecution. For selling a loaf of bread in which was a wood screw, a firm of bakers outside the Borough was discharged absolutely/ but ordered to pay the Council's costs in the prosecution. Milk There has been no change in the number of establishments in the Borough where milk is bottled preparatory to local distribution,! and the good standard of hygiene has been maintained. The wholesale pasteurising and bottling centre in Bollo Lane has also operated! |
f8ecc1a6-2ca7-4e56-a807-9be3ad854a90 | with complete absence of cause for complaint. As to sampling, the results are worthy of special note, as of 113 samples taken and sub-) mitted to the Pathological Laboratory of the Ministry of Health,) 31 there were no failures in respect of Methylene Blue or Phosphatase tests. Empty bottles taken from the filling lines at the centre in Bollo Lane for examination as to sterility totalled 46 and on examination all were found to be sterile. Ice-cream The manufacturers of ice-cream in the Borough now total 11, while there are 88 premises where ice-cream is not manufactured but where the commodity is sold in the main from pre-packed stocks. During the year 281 samples were taken, 164 of ice-cream manufactured in the Borough, and 117 from shops or itinerant vendors who were trading in ice-cream manufactured outside the Borough. |
96c0e264-23b3-4b41-bf7b-18cd54780a74 | The grading of the samples referred to indicates the excellent standard of the commodity manufactured in Acton, and expressed in percentages reads as follows: — Grade I. 61.6% Grade II. 26.9% Grade III. 7.9% Grade IV. 3.6% The result of overall sampling indicated a generally satisfactory condition of premises, processing, storage, and trading. Water In the course of the year 59 samples of water were submitted to the Council's Analyst or the Pathologist for examination as to chemical or bacteriological content. The results invariably indicated a satisfactory source of supply. Clean Food Exhibition During the year the Council adopted new Bye-laws with respect to the handling, wrapping and delivery of food, and held a Clean Food Exhibition in the Town Hall. 32 The exhibition was an undoubted success in that the public showed a very deep interest, there being an attendance of upwards of 9,000 visitors. Many were older children from schools in and outside the Borough in specially conducted parties. |
d959d675-f12a-4571-b7ee-ca7b2e590300 | Contributions to the Exhibition with its 36 stands were from a wide field of interested and public-spirited traders and associations, and were representative of practically the whole of the extensive food producing factories and stores in the Borough. In addition to the firms occupying stands in the Exhibition, a local dairy and bakehouse were opened to the public, who were able to see normal working conditions in model premises. The Ministry of Agriculture & Fisheries, Infestation Control Division, assisted greatly in the preparation of the Exhibition, and the excellent work of the Department in conserving food supplies by Infestation Control was portrayed in a special arrangement of stands and by films and posters. The nature of the work of the Public Health Department was displayed on special stands, and that on meat and food inspection proved a very popular attraction. The "dirty food shop" showing storage of food and business conducted on unhygienic lines was in sharp contrast to the displays of model food sales premises. |
fcbcd6e0-bdd9-47f5-98aa-141928e1413a | Among the films displayed to the public was the special one "Another case of Food Poisoning" telling of the causes of the spread of infection through food handling without due care, and an excellent directive to hygiene practices in relation to food handling in preparation, cooking, sale and service. Disease of Animals Act The Borough was free from notifiable diseases of animals throughout the year, and was not involved in any out-break occurr-; ing elsewhere. 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. There was a reduction in the number of horses slaughtered for human food—but the quality of the flesh was maintained. With regard to the incidence of T.B. in pork the percentage of animals affected was .08% lower than last year. |
199823c2-4d2e-4742-9014-80ed6a14c9b2 | 33 The Slaughter House at Hanbury Road was the subject of a special report by a Departmental Committee set up by the Government to investigate the conditions under which horses were being transported and slaughtered for human consumption. The Report expressed satisfaction with regard to the premises of Western Abattoir Ltd., and was particularly complimentary on the vehicles being used by Mr. F. Moore, a local horse dealer, for transporting horses by road. Total Number of carcases inspected with details of surrender on account of disease. Pigs Horses 1. No. killed 88,654 5,108 2.

To the Mayor, Aldermen and Councillors of the Borough of Acton. Ladies and Gentlemen, I submit the Annual Report of the health of the Borough of Acton for the year 1951. During this year the fifteenth Census was taken and it is interesting to compare some of the population figures, published in the preliminary report, with those of the previous census of 1931. |
23b9b7d7-7254-4248-b6f7-955bfce543fc | The population of the Borough of Acton in 1931 was 70,008 persons, and in 1951 it was 67,424 persons, a decrease of 3.7% or 2,534 persons. Set out below are some population statistics of particular interest with the percentage increase or decrease of the population in 1931. England & Wales 43,744,924 persons + 9.49% County of London 3,348,336 ,, - 23.8% Greater London (roughly the Met. Police Area) 8,346,137 ,, + 1.6% County of Middlesex 2,268,776 ,, + 38.4% The populations of some of the outlying districts of Middlesex have increased amazingly, e.g. Harrow—127.1%; Ruislip-Northwood 325.8%. 4 As a rule the Census is taken at the end of the first quarter. |
9a67b6fd-8235-4a5a-8e82-0f853a5c65a9 | If it was taken later, summer holiday resorts would show excessive populations. This year the Census was taken on the 8th April and it is upon this figure that the Registrar General estimates the mid- year population. One should note that this year's estimate is 67,540 persons. Of this number 5,272 are children of 0-4 years, and 7,327 are children of 5-14 years. The report reveals that, since the beginning of the century, the percentage of all men over 65 has increased from 6.6 to 9.3, and the percentage of women in that age group has risen from 8.3 to 12.3, whereas the percentage of adult males (15-34 years) has declined from 33.8 to 27,9, the percentage of women in the same: age group has fallen from 33.0 to 26.9 due to the fall in the birthrate. |
89353fab-58de-4a6a-8f36-84b2bb7bdce5 | The most difficult aspect of an ageing population—and this has been known for some time—is the welfare of old people. Old per sons who are able to walk and be active are well catered for, but there is another group who have reached a further stage at which they are unable to care for themselves and have no relations to help them. These do not necessarily need hospital care, but do need someone at the back of them to keep them clean and tidy, and save them from losing interest in themselves. All old persons like to feel the rooms they occupy are their homes, however limited is their physical ability to maintain their surroundings in a tidy state. For this group of old people an almshouse type of building is needed, where each person has a bed-sitting-room with means of making hot drinks and storing food, but where there is also a common dining-room where one or two meals could be provided for them. |
ddc6847e-e0df-401c-bbc1-39d776dea46e | There should also be a resident nurse who is responsible for the old persons' welfare, and who can supervise the cleanliness of persons and rooms. Such a type of establishment would, I believe, help many lonely old persons to live out the twilight of their lives contentedly. The figures for immunisation against diphtheria are set out in the body of the report, as also are the School Health Services returns for the Borough. I should like to take this opportunity of expressing to the staf of the Public Health Department my appreciation for their co operation and loyalty throughout the year. |
