229035b8-17d1-4b06-99a6-bec4812cf14f | The difficulties of the department have been accentuated by, the inability to fill three vacancies and by a further reduction in the inspectorial staff as a result of two resignations. 33 SECTION G INSPECTION AND SUPERVISION OF FOOD The numbers and types of food premises in the area are noted under Section "F" of the report, as are the numbers of food premises by type registered under Section 14 of the Food & Drugs Act, 1938 and the number of dairies registered under the Milk & Dairies Regulations, 1949. Inspections of registered food premises are carried out from time to time and further action taken as necessary to ensure the premises and method of production being maintained at a satisfactory standard. Members of the Sanitary Inspectors staff from time to time give lectures with film strip displays to stimulate and maintain interest in food hygiene and the general work of the Public Health Department. |
847f57d4-5731-4889-a71a-cc4a4c03292d | DISPOSAL OF CONDEMNED FOOD There have been no changes in the methods of disposing of condemned and surrendered food noted in the report. At the large slaughterhouse and bacon factory in the Borough all diseased or unfit carcases, parts of carcases and offal are destroyed under the supervision of the Council's Meat Inspectors in a special plant producing inedible material—bone meal, fertilizer, etc. The rest of the surrendered diseased and unsound food material is disposed of either for animal feeding purposes or by burning in a destructor as appropriate. FOOD INSPECTION Reference to special examinations of consignments of food follow in this section of the report and while details of the quantity condemned are noted, it is not practicable to collate total quantities. The amount of food-stuffs surrendered owing to deterioration or damage is largely related to the extensive work of food manufacture and distribution in the Borough. |
747fa524-6ab5-4e76-af4b-df756b47dbcd | Much inferior food material is received into the Borough for manufacturing purposes on licence by Port Health Authorities and subject to control by this Local Authority, and the Sanitary Inspectors carry out necessary examinations to ensure that only sound material is used. 34 There are two large wholesale grocery Depots within the Borough, and hence surrenders of canned and packeted goods are made to this Authority; these surrenders constitute the major part of such foodstuff noted. The following list collated for convenience shows some details of the surrendered food-stuffs: Cheese 3,747 lbs. Cream 10 tins Fish, wet 10 stone ,, paste 38,881 tins „ tinned 403 tins ,, shell 3 Flour and Flour Products 97 tins „ 158 pkts.

Preserves 728 tins Puddings, sweet and savoury 64 tins Soup, Strained Foods, etc. 1,437 tins Vegetables 2,343 tins Miscellaneous 25 jars 35 FOOD COMPLAINTS There were 27 complaints as to unsound food etc., and in 3 leases the Council instituted legal proceedings. Details are as follows: — Proceedings were instituted against a firm of bakers for selling bread containing glass. On a submission by the defence that there was some doubt as to how the glass came to be in the bread, the case was dismissed but no costs were awarded. |
9d275d9a-ecd8-4a3f-8389-d51732f20001 | Another bakery firm was fined 14 for selling bread containing part of a metal screw. Costs of £4 4s. Od. were awarded to the Council. A dairy firm pleaded guilty to selling dough in an acid and sour condition. A fine of £5 was imposed and costs of £3 3s. 0d. were awarded to the Council. MILK The number of dairies in the Borough has been reduced to two owing to the increasing practice of distributing milk wholesale in bottles from large bottling depots to local depots, for delivery by roundsmen, or over the counter in milk shops. 16 samples of milk were taken throughout the Borough and on submission to the Pathological Laboratory of the Ministry of Health, the results of the bacteriological examinations indicated that generally satisfactory conditions of processing and storage were maintained. |
684fae5f-bcb8-40d3-ac08-72ac13ecb99b | The wholesale, pasteurising and bottling centre in Bollo Lane has continued in operation without cause for complaint, and 8 empty bottles taken from the filling lines for examination as to sterility, were found to be sterile. The following licences were granted under the Milk (Special Designation) (Pasturised and Sterilised Milk) Regulations 1949 to 1953, and the Milk (Special Designation) (Raw Milk) Regulations 1949 to 1954. Dealers' Licences: — Tuberculin Tested Milk 20 Pasteurised Milk 31 Sterilised Milk 28 36 Supplementary Licences: — Tuberculin Tested Milk 12 Pasteurised Milk 13 Sterilised Milk 13 117 ICE-CREAM The number of manufacturers of ice-cream in the Borough is now 6. |
550af494-dbfb-4ae9-b2c4-be06e3cfc400 | Each of them is equipped to produce pasteurised ice-cream, and production is in every way in accord with the Ice-Cream (Heat Treatment etc.,) Regulations, 1947/1952. There are 129 premises where ice-cream is not manufactured, but where the commodity is sold in the main from pre-packed stocks. During the year 32 samples were taken, 26 of ice-cream manufactured in the Borough, and 6 from shops or itinerant vendors trading in icecream manufactured outside the Borough. The high bacteriological standard reflected in the results of examination of samples of ice-cream, together with inspection of plant and premises, has shown that processing and storage conditions are satisfactory and well maintained. MEAT INSPECTION AT SLAUGHTERHOUSES The amount of meat inspection at the two slaughterhouses in the Borough has grown during the year, and the necessary work of meat inspection was stepped up considerably. |
4d3bde10-6f48-4c83-9bef-72f27462e9df | Some 150 hours of overtime inspection duty were carried out at the slaughterhouse of T. Wall & Sons Ltd., Atlas Road, the time of this particular duty being reduced during the year as a result of night slaughtering and the introduction of shift work by the inspectors. At Western Abattoir also decontrol made again possible local slaughtering of food animals with resultant overtime in inspection duty of some 165 hours. 37 CARCASES AND OFFAL INSPECTED AND CONDEMNED IN WHOLE OR IN PART Cattle excluding Cows Cows Calves Sheep and Lambs Pigs Horses 1.

50bbf61d-455b-4a01-9177-ff69076ab4ab | There was no evidence of added water and the fat deficiencies appeared to be due to seasonal conditions over which the farmer had no control. A letter of advice was sent to him. Seven samples—three from each of two farmers and one from another—were all deficient in fat. In two of these cases associated samples were genuine and no further action was taken, and in the third case the deficiencies were so slight that no action was taken. The remaining eight samples, two from each of four farmers, were all deficient in solids-not-fat, although the presence of added water was not confirmed, and the farmers were advised in each case. Butter "This sample, sold in a cafe as 'bread and butter", was found to be bread and margarine. An official caution was issued. Sausages, etc. "Two samples of pork sausages procured from a firm of retail grocers and one sample of sausage meat from a butcher, all contained undeclared preservative. |
15db9448-2a01-422d-ad7e-b47d7292336e | Official cautions were issued. Sweets "This was a sample of 'milk caramels' deficient in milk fat. No decision has yet been made as to what action will be taken in this case. Merchandise Marks Acts, 1887-1926 "212 inspections of shops were undertaken to ensure that the Marking Orders relating to certain imported foodstuffs made under the Merchandise Marks Act, 1926 were complied with. 1,104 separate displays of meat, apples, tomatoes, poultry, dried fruit, butter and honey were examined. No serious infringements were disclosed and verbal cautions were given in respect of minor infringements not being found so serious as to warrant more stringent action. The Labelling of Food Order, 1953 "This Order requires that in general pre-packed foods shall bear on the label a clear statement of the designation of the food and, in the case of compound foods, the ingredients. |
9839b45a-7f49-43e9-881f-3f80975b8e5e | It also requires that the name and address of the packer or labeller appears. 42 At 57 premises 230 articles of pre-packed food were examined. No proceedings were taken but in respect of infringements found see paragraph 'False or Misleading Descriptions' below. False or Misleading Descriptions "In addition to the foregoing activities which arise specifically from inspections in your area a considerable amount of work has been done for the benefit of all districts of Middlesex equally in scrutinising advertisements and the labels of pre-packed foods and correcting false or misleading descriptions or errors in statement of composition found therein. Corrective action during the year in question included biscuits, confectionery, spirits, sausages in brine, cereals, fruit squashes, margarine, ginger wine, imitation cream, liver puree, iced lollies, cheese spreads, tinned fruit and vegetables. |
72a0aba4-f4fd-4b63-a74c-6f45795d6813 | Special Designated Milk "During the year in question one licence was issued by my Council in respect of the use of the special designation "pasteurised" for milk processed within your Borough. The premises were inspected regularly and compliance with the requirements of the Act or Regulations was maintained. Fifty-seven samples were taken, all of which were correct. Safe Milk "In addition to the foregoing, forty-eight samples of raw milk were procured within the Borough and submitted to test for the presence of tubercle bacilli. None was found contaminated". SECTION H DISEASES OF ANIMALS Throughout the year, the Borough remained free from any outbreaks of notifiable disease. |
6f79903e-6e2b-4517-9530-12f2fa712569 | SECTION J ATMOSPHERIC POLLUTION There has been no major change in the siting or recording of the three deposit gauge and seven lead peroxide stations and analyses have been maintained throughout the year, except for the June deposit figure for Kendal Avenue when the collecting bowl was broken, presumably during building operations on the roof, and 43 for the November sulphur figure for Acacia Road, when the louvred box and padlock were smashed, and the prepared candle stolen, probably by children. This instrument has been moved to a less obvious position on the same site. ESTIMATION OF ATMOSPHERIC SULPHUR BY THE LEAD PEROXIDE METHOD The monthly figures for each station for the years 1954 and 1955 are shown on page 44 and the 1955 figures are illustrated graphically on page 46. The station with the highest monthly figure was Canham Road—7.7—and that with the highest average figure was Bashley Road—8.71. |
6f76ba04-37b5-46d5-9a32-46c1fdcc98ee | The station with the lowest monthly figure was Canham Road—1.37—and that with the lowest average figure was Acacia Road—2.65. The average of all stations for the year was 3.11 which is a considerable increase over the previous year's result. Over the five years during which readings have been made, until this year, the average amount has risen each time although the size of the increase has been less each year. This point is illustrated graphically by the two diagrams on page 45. It may be of interest to note that this year is the first full year that the new power station in North Acton Road has been in operation. DEPOSIT GAUGES The monthly figures for each station are shown statistically on page 47 and graphically on page 46. The yearly average figure—24.63 tons/sq. |
f7680ca7-f25a-4711-ac73-3bc0c115eab2 | mile—has increased by 8% over that of the previous year although the amount of combustible material in the deposit has increased by only a very small amount. Once again the station with the greatest monthly deposit— 43.38 tons/sq. mile—and the greatest average deposit—30.16 tons/sq. mile—was Bashley Road. The Town Hall gauge showed the lowest monthly deposit of 13.65 tons/sq. mile and the lowest average deposit of 21.48 tons/sq. mile. The increase in the average deposit for the year is the highest in the four complete years during which the gauges have been in operation. 44 ESTIMATION OF ATMOSPHERIC SULPHUR BY LEAD PEROXIDE INSTRUMENTS Weight of SO3 in Milligrams per 100 Square Centimetres per day.

School Home & School Visits Acton Thur. Avenue Road (two Therapists) Fri. —Avenue Road At the beginning of the year the staff consisted of three Speech Therapists, Miss Sawkins, Miss Ash and Mrs. Cleyndert. Unfortunately, Mrs Cleyndert had to leave the district in June so we were short staffed until September when Miss P. Road was appointed. Revision of Sessions Owing to a fall in numbers, the Cloister Road session had been suspended, the treatment being concentrated at Avenue Road and the one session involved being used by Miss Ash for school visiting. School Visits Eleven departments, mostly Primary, have been visited this year. |
4e2f6fc7-6e74-484d-8750-377110afa0a3 | The Speech Therapists have advised teachers on training many children whose speech was not sufficiently bad to warrant clinical treatment, and others have been referred to the clinics. Attendance Attendance at clinics is good on the whole though there is a considerable falling off in the holiday months. No treatments were given in August, the therapists taking leave at this time, many parents having reported that they would be away. SPECIAL SCHOOL The School for Educationally Sub-normal Children was open for the whole of 1955 and at the end of the year 40 Children were on the roll. During the year 2 new cases were admitted, 52 TUBERCULOSIS SURVEYS All new entrants in Infants' Schools, with the exception of known contacts of tuberculous relatives and children who had already had a primary infection prior to school entry, were tuberculin patch tested. |
4bbe998f-775d-4666-9eae-c2241e99257e | Total number patch tested 787 Total number negative 775 Number not read 4 Total number found to be positive 8 Analysis of the positive cases: Two were found to be suffering from primary infection, previously unknown. One of the cases was recently adopted, in the other case the father was found to be suffering from pulmonary tuberculosis. This proves again the value of the skin test for tuberculosis in young children. Those found to be suffering from their primary infection can be treated and sometimes the source of infection, frequently in the family circle, can be traced and treatment arranged. In three other cases no contact could be traced. Of the remaining three cases, two were known as family contacts but this fact had not previously been mentioned—the third had been vaccinated with B.C.G. and this too, had not been disclosed. All these children were referred to the chest clinic for further supervision. HEALTH TALKS Several talks to Parents and Teachers were given by the School Medical Officer and lively discussions ensued. |
e7b0b4b5-8062-4107-8cbd-366d22b8c6d4 | The School Medical Officer also gave talks to school leavers in the Secondary Modern Schools on matters of health. 53 VISITS PAID BY SCHOOL NURSES The following is the number of home visits paid by the Nurses during the year.

e1acbff2-7a9e-4b82-a6b7-fee56d6fab6e | The Borough has remained free of any serious outbreak of infectious disease, there being 79 cases of Whooping Cough confined chiefly to children under nine years of age, and there were 97 cases of measles as compared with 1955 when 647 cases were notified. Only six cases of poliomyelitis were confirmed and there were no deaths from this disease. The number of deaths from Cancer were 148 as compared with 151 in 1955. As may be seen from the following table the number of deaths from Cancer of the lung and Bronchus fell from 37 in 1955 to 28. 3 DEATHS FROM CANCER OF THE LUNG AND BRONCHUS— 1952 to 1956 Year Total 25—45 45—65 65+ Bronchus Lung Bronchus Lung Bronchus Lung M.

I should like to take this opportunity of expressing to the staff of the Public Health Department my appreciation of their cooperation and loyalty throughout the year. |

157032df-863d-4654-a166-c91f77619422 | 12 SECTION B GENERAL PROVISION OF HEALTH SERVICES IN THE AREA LABORATORY FACILITIES These continue as in previous years. The Ministry of Health Emergency Medical Service provides a Pathological Service at the King Edward VII Memorial Hospital Laboratory at Ealing. The following Table gives the types, and number, of specimens submitted for examination. Type No. of specimens examined Throat and Nose Swabs 141 Sputum 13 Faeces 247 Hair, Widals, etc. 11 Milk 51 Milk Bottles 8 Water 30 Ice-Cream 129 Miscellaneous Foods 9 HOSPITAL PROVISION 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 it is just these requirements which cannot be met in the home. |
97152029-f246-46c8-ac55-1647b05fd191 | 13 NATIONAL ASSISTANCE ACT, 1948 Under Section 47 of this Act power is given to the Councils of County Boroughs and County Districts to apply to a Court of Summary Jurisdiction for an Order for removal and detention, in a suitable hospital or other place, of persons who (a) are suffering from grave chronic disease, or, being aged, infirm or physically incapacitated, are living in insanitary conditions; and (b) are unable to devote to themselves, and are not receiving from other persons, proper care and attention. Application is made to the Court only as a last resort, and in several cases which came to my notice during the year it was possible, either to persuade the persons concerned to enter a hospital or home voluntarily, or to provide home help, nursing and other local services so that they could remain in their own homes. However, in two cases it was found necessary to take action under Section 47. |
7b50e86b-a3e9-4cc9-8e7f-a388cf0f6360 | The first of these cases concerned a woman aged 56 who was found to be suffering from chronic Arthritis and Anaemia and was completely bed ridden. She was not receiving the care and attention which she needed so I decided that it would be in the woman's interest if she was removed to hospital. An order was obtained authorising her detention for three months, and this period was extended as her physical condition did not improve. She was still in hospital at the end of the year. The other case was that of a woman aged 74 who had fractured her thigh. She refused admission to hospital and as she was not receiving any proper care and attention it was necessary to obtain an emergency order for her detention in hospital for three weeks. At the end of this period she became a voluntary patient. Under Section 50 of this Act the Borough Council arranged for the burial of 3 persons where no other provision was being made. |
1c78d13a-8c26-4e1e-9238-274d4856dcec | PUBLIC HEALTH LAUNDRY SERVICE The Public Health Act, 1936, Section 84, dealing with the cleansing of filthy articles gives power to a Local Authority "to cleanse at the Authority's expense any article which upon a certificate of the Medical Officer of Health or Public Health Inspector require to be cleansed in order to prevent injury or danger of injury to the health of any person on the premises." 14 Under this section the Council commenced a laundry service on the 17th November, 1955, to assist incontinent old persons and to relieve their relatives of the burden of washing soiled linen, often with inadequate facilities. By arrangement with the Central Middlesex Group Hospital Management Committee( the soiled articles are sent to Neasden Hospital, where they are washed, dried and ironed at a cost of 4¼d. per lb. Collection and delivery are made twice weekly, the transport being provided by the Department's van. The service is running smoothly and has settled down to between 10 and 15 patients per week. |
166d6459-110a-4f30-8ac5-4a318bad2004 | There is of course a steady change in the number of cases and this is due to removal to and discharge from hospital, deaths, etc. There is no doubt that a service' of this kind is of great value to the community. Commercial launderies will not accept articles in the condition dealt with under the Council scheme, and the relief is greatly welcomed by patients and relatives.
