One clinic weekly was held at Trinity Way, East Acton. Seven new patients were referred for advice in 1956. HOME HELP SCHEME At the end of the year there were 7 full-time Home Helps, and 63 part-time Staff. |
8f1a2d66-bfac-4caf-b863-ca9408d7b089 | The following table shows the number of cases actually attended:— Maternity 29 Tuberculosis 12 Chronic Sick 396 Other cases 64 19 SECTION D INFECTIOUS AND OTHER DISEASES, SCABIES AND OTHER CONDITIONS DIPHTHERIA IMMUNISATION Immunisation was carried out along the lines indicated in previous reports, although the normal programme was somewhat interrupted in the Summer months by the introduction of vaccination against Poliomyelitis, and by the priority necessarily afforded to the latter scheme. Publicity on behalf of Diphtheria Immunisation was relaxed in order that there might be no overlapping of injections in the age groups to which Poliomyelitis vaccine was available, but in spite of this there was still a good response and the number of children immunised against Diphtheria showed a great increase on the previous year's figures. All immunised cases were followed up and, at the end of three years, each child was offered a boost dose. |
8a88c117-bd90-4544-918e-3e6ac2c3998f | At the age of 11 years or over, this was preceded by a Schick test. All children under 5 who had not had the disease, were inoculated against Whooping Cough at the same time as they were inoculated against Diptheria, i.e., they had three doses of protective material at monthly intervals. Owing to the fact that estimates of child population are no longer supplied by the Registrar General, it is not possible to give the proportion of children immunised against Diphtheria, but the actual number at 31st December, is as follows : Children under 5 years of age 2,632 Children 5 to 15 years of age 8,047 The figures of work carried out during 1956 are given below: DIPHTHERIA IMMUNISATION, 19S6 Total number of under 5s inoculated 799 Total number of over 5s inoculated 14 Boost dose after 3 years 1, |

da54cd59-9385-4909-8249-41f0314e9465 | The decrease was mainly due to the fact that there were only 97 cases of measles notified compared with 647 last year. Food Poisoning Thirty-three cases of food poisoning or suspected food poisoning were notified, none of them being associated with an outbreak. In 5 cases salmonella organisms were responsible for the illness, the causative agent not being discovered in the remainder. Typhoid Fever Two cases of typhoid fever were notified during the year. A male Polish National was admitted to hospital with typhoid fever. Following investigation his mother, with whom he was living, was admitted to hospital as a voluntary patient for treatment as a carrier. Treatment proved unsuccessful and she was discharged. Her son discharged himself after 8 weeks treatment, classified as a convalescent carrier. The strain of salmonella typhi isolated belongs to an untypable Vi strain and resembles the strain isolated during the outbreak amongst the Polish Community in Acton last year but no link could be found between these cases. |
21b44ab0-c5b7-408b-894b-08408de25b1f | Two typhoid carriers have been kept under surveillance following the 1955 outbreak.

b4d5de2f-655a-42cc-9613-7dc25bad1415 | cases suffering from the above conditions have been referred to the Kensington Medicinal Baths for cleansing treatment. During the year 4 persons were treated for dirty heads. Three of these were referred for treatment by the medical staff of factories within the Borough. Nine persons were treated for scabies, and one person for body lice. 24 SECTION E HOUSING I am indebted to the Borough Engineer for the following information showing the progress made since the end of the war. Temporary Prefabricated Dwellings. Occupied 31.12.56 208 New Permanent Dwellings. (1) Within the Borough: Completed and occupied 31.12.56 1,013 (2) Outside the Borough: Completed and occupied 31.12.56 435 SECTION F 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. |
f2d9f936-905f-47f3-ab80-ffb1fe594279 | Waste of water has been notified to the Metropolitan Water Board on 69 occasions and, in addition to saving a measure of water supply, these notifications have been the means of preventing nuisance from dampness in many cases. 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 in the course of the year a total of 30 samples were submitted to the Council's analyst or pathologist for examination as to chemical or bacteriological content, and the results indicated a satisfactory supply. 25 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. |
118111ce-3587-4bfa-a935-f5f545ce4992 | PUBLIC CLEANSING The amount of house refuse collected by the Council in 1956 was 15,076 tons and trade refuse collected amounted to 1,976 tons. All was removed to controlled shoots. In addition to the foregoing, 1,695 tons of salvage were sold. RODENT CONTROL Test baiting of public sewers and treatment as necessary have been maintained and this work contributes largely to the improved conditions in the matter of infestation on the surface. The services of the Council's Rodent Destruction staff continue to be divided between work of destruction of newly discovered rats and mice by intensive treatment and regular visitation and examination of business premises to prevent infestation. The Borough is free from serious infestation. Investigation, destruction and maintenance have entailed a total of 5,220 visits by the Rodent Operatives, 2,077 to business premises and 3,143 to dwellings, in addition to inspections by the Public Health Inspectors as noted elsewhere. |
45b0b3e1-dc4f-4013-b8fb-eb376c0a52a6 | RAG FLOCK AND OTHER FILLING MATERIALS ACT, 1951 Under the above Act, seventeen premises are registered for the manufacture of articles of upholstery, toys, etc., and two premises were licensed for the storing of rag flock. In the course of inspections it has been noted that rag flock and other filling materials are stored and used under hygienic conditions. Section 154 of The Public Health Act makes it an offence for any person collecting or dealing in rags, old clothes or similar articles, to sell or deliver, whether gratuitously or not any article whatsoever to a person under the age of 14 years. 26 During the year a person was convicted of such an offence within the Borough and the magistrates imposed a fine of £1 and awarded the Council £1 Is. Od. costs. It has been noted that such offences are most likely to occur in the vicinity of schools and observations are kept from time to time accordingly, with a view to preventing this practice of exchange. |
577f195b-87b1-46ff-a609-99daff3eabe8 | COMPLAINTS The number of complaints registered at the counter was 1,319 and by letter 284. INSPECTION OF FACTORIES The number of factories in the Borough is 639 and these have been subject to inspection by the Public Health Inspectors to ascertain that the provisions of the Factories Act, 1937, and regulations as to sanitary accommodation are complied with. The usual work of inspection of factory canteens has been maintained, and advice given as necessary as to fitness or otherwise of food for human consumption. The home addresses of 96 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. 27 FACTORIES ACT, 1937 PART I OF THE ACT 1.

43130b11-98c5-4f67-b4e5-2b727a06e0ad | This permits only the minimum amount of district inspection, and house to house inspection has been considerably reduced. In the latter part of the year four vacancies for district inspectors were filled. 33 SECTION G INSPECTION AND SUPERVISION OF FOOD PREMISES AND FOOD HANDLING 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 Public Health 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. |
93eb74d4-4aba-48c1-bcb6-2c6bd7abe179 | The Food Hygiene Regulations 1955 came into force on the 1st January 1956, and with the special provisions of the Food Wrapping in Domestic Premises becoming operative on July 1st, 1956 the practice of home sweet wrapping in Acton ceased. In order to ensure the fullest possible implementation of the Regulations the Public Health Inspectors have carried out a number of inspections of food premises, particularly catering establishments, and works of repair and installation of equipment have followed as necessary. Regulation No. 9 on Personal Cleanliness prescribes that a person engaged in the handling of food, shall, while so engaged " refrain from the use of tobacco (including snuff) while he is handling any open food or is in any food establishment in which there is open food." Early in the year a person employed in a Provision Shop in the Borough was observed to be smoking in contravention of this regulation. He was cautioned, but repeated the offence some days later. |
612ccdee-04c9-416c-bae4-01358e4d2773 | The Council prosecuted in respect of both offences and fines totalling £6 were inflicted by the Justices and £2 2s. costs awarded to the Council. 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. 34 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. 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 Public Health Inspectors carry out necessary examinations to ensure that only sound material is used for human consumption. 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. |
23cda55c-5b95-4113-a1c2-37d1f8a77ebd | The following list collated for convenience shows some details of the surrendered food-stuffs: Bacon 492 lbs. Cream 61 tins Fish, wet 15 stone „ tinned 738 tins Flour and Flour Products 77 tins ,, 54 pkts. Fruit, tinned 23,083 tins ,, dried 149 lbs. Ham, tinned 136 lbs. Meat:— Fresh 42,489 lbs. Tinned 972 tins Corned beef 220 tins Offal 270 lbs. „ 22 tins Milk, Condensed 1,028 tins Pastes, Pickles, etc. 116 jars Poultiy:— Chickens 3 lbs. Preserves 1,292 tins Puddings, sweet and savoury 104 tins Soup, Strained Foods, etc. 748 tins Vegetables 3,376 tins Miscellaneous 67 jars, etc. |
77aa09c6-4114-41cb-9ab0-e99d87e87554 | 35 DISPOSAL OF CONDEMNED FOOD There has been no change 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 infected carcases, and parts of carcases, are destroyed in special plant producing inedible material — bone meal, fertiliser, etc.— under supervision of the Council's Meat Inspectors. Apart from condemned food material dealt with at these slaughterhouse premises all surrendered diseased, or unsound, food is disposed of for animal feeding purposes, or otherwise as appropriate. FOOD COMPLAINTS There were 30 complaints as to unsound food, etc., and in 3 cases the Council instituted legal proceedings. Details are as follows: — A bakery firm was fined £10 for selling bread containing tobacco. Costs of £2 2s. Od. were awarded to the Council. A dairy firm was fined £5 for selling milk which contained mould. |
30152963-8f9b-4057-81c7-7dac59932125 | Costs of £5 5s. Od. were awarded to the Council. Another dairy firm was fined £2 for selling milk in a dirty bottle. £3 3s. Od. costs were awarded to the Council. MILK There are only two dairies in the Borough and the 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 remains. 51 samples of milk were taken throughout the Borough and following 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. 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. |
586b0391-72fc-4db6-823e-6318e702a1b2 | 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. 36 Dealers' Licences:— Tuberculin Tested Milk 20 Pasteurised Milk 36 Sterilised Milk 30 Supplementary Licences:— Tuberculin Tested Milk 12 Pasteurised Milk 13 Sterilised Milk 13 124 ICE-CREAM The number of manufacturers of ice-cream in the Borough is now 5. 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. |
bd038f7a-1ca4-4bfa-a105-9fbd1f7952c8 | During the year 129 samples were taken, 83 of ice-cream manufactured in the Borough, and 46 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 Regular slaughtering of pigs at the slaughterhouse of T. Wall and Sons has grown during the year and has necessitated the permanent attendance of a larger staff of the Local Authority in the course of meat inspection, with increased hours of overtime duty. Early in the year the slaughterhouse premises which had been occupied mainly for the slaughter of horses for human consumption was closed in the course of the Council's scheme for re-development in South Acton, and this accounts for the fact that only 364 of the animals noted in the table on Carcass Inspection on page 37 were inspected at this slaughterhouse. |

To the Mayor, Aldermen and Councillors of the Borough of Acton. I submit the Annual Report of the health of the Borough of Acton for 1957. During the year there were 919 cases of measles. Some serious sequelae occurred chiefly in children under school age. |
ffb881e6-f13e-4d2d-b39b-c4cf182a023e | There were 12 cases of poliomyelitis and during this year the limited scheme for polio-vaccination was extended; 1884 children completed a course with 2,034 awaiting the arrival of Salk vaccine. I append below a table showing the deaths that have occurred due to cancer of the lung or bronchus. The greatest number of deaths, as one has recently been led to expect, were due to cancer of the bronchus in the male population of the 45.65 age group. 3 DEATHS FROM CANCER OF THE LUNG AND BRONCHUS— 1952 to 1957 Year Total 25—45 45—65 65 + Bronchus Lung Bronchus Lung Bronchus Lung M.
