To the Mayor, Aldermen and Councillors of the Metropolitan Borough of Bethnal Green. Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen, I have the honour to report on the health and sanitary circumstances of the Borough for 1964. This is the last Annual Report for Bethnal Green Council, as its independent existence will terminate on the 31st March, 1965. Perhaps this is an opportune time to pause and reflect on what was achieved over the years since May 1956, when I had the honour to become Medical Officer of Health for the Borough. |
b33acc68-f2d5-4414-8c95-f6518be6291a | Slum Clearance I represented 16 Areas for Slum Clearance and, together with individial Closing Orders dealt with 1,479 properties in this period which is one-tenth of the total number of dwellings in the Borough. This is not the sum total of slum clearance activities which so radically transformed Bethual Green into a pleasantly modernised area with a surprising number of new dwellings, since it does not include the slum clearance work of the London County Council. Clean Air Act. 1956 The implementation of this Act had a very slow start, indeed in the early days it looked very much as though it would not commence at all. The Council was greatly concerned that the price of smokeless fuel would be an added burden on the finances of the ratepayers, but, unexpectedly, a change of attitude to Clean Air came about and I was instructed to proceed with establishing smokeless zones. I had the advantage of the experience of those Boroughs who had started earlier. |
7bc62d3a-c8d7-4abc-83cc-8741e13838fe | The Borough was divided into five areas and it was intended to complete the work in 5 years but subsequently it was found that this period could be reduced. The Orders were made as follows: 4 Smoke Control Area 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Year Order Made 1959 1960 1961 1962 1962 The year following the making of each Order it became operative, with the exception of Area 4 where one solitary chimney of a factory burning wood waste held up progress. Eventually agreement was reached with the firm concerned but this Order did not become operative in 1963 and even failed to do so in 1964 (it will become operative on 1st July, 1965). Bethnal Green is in the fortunate position of having a large Park within its boundaries and there at least no contamination of air is taking place. |
6a02e9ef-0fc5-4d0a-8a40-3a1a756a7f2e | Nevertheless this Borough was considered one of the blackest spots in London from the Clean Mr point of view, and I am pleased to report that the task of making the whole Borough a Smoke Control Area has now been completed. I know that this will contribute in no small measure to the well-being of the population. Old People's Welfare This is a service in which I have always been greatly interested. It is obvious that it is a problem which will demand more and more attention since there are increasing numbers of retired people living in the community. A number of amenities are provided for the old people by various voluntary organisations which perform excellent work in serving this section of the community. The Public Health Department's main task should be to locate those who are unable or unwilling to accept the services provided by the voluntary organisationsj unable because they may be physically incapacitated, unwilling because they may have isolated themselves to such an extent that they have to be guided back into society. |
4cd22ad2-8567-4f74-b237-7b764ec739e7 | There is a third large group who are well able to look after themselves or perhaps live with their families and who need no help, but even these should be known to us in case the picture changes as it so quickly can in old age. It was considered that in the population of Bethnal Green there must be some 9,000 Old Age Pensioners and it was my objective, with the help of the three Old People's Visitors, to get as many of them as possible known to the department. In 1963 some 1,200 became known which increased to over 5,000 by the end of 1964. Although this represented a high percentage of the total number of aged persons I had hoped to improve on this figure. It was intended to have every one on the list visited once a year at least and more often to those who needed attention depending on conditions found. |
f4abca1c-7848-4119-9f6d-fee3a0fd97c9 | 5 I am sure that our activities have contributed to the well-being of the aged by visiting and bringing to their notice the various services available by statutory and voluntary organisations. Food Hygiene In this field perhaps standards did not rise to the extent I would have liked to see. The Pood Hygiene (General) Regulations 1960 gave us a powerful weapon to improve conditions generally but there are so many snail businesses which come and go with such rapidity that it is extremely difficult over a short period to institute improvements. I would pay that the better food establishments have improved beyond measure over the last eight years I have been in the Borough but I must confoss this improvement very often was undertaken by the proprietor himself without action by my Department. Owners must have found it to be good business to show a high standard of cleanliness. At the other end of the scale the very poor shops still remain very poor or have improved only slightly -there is much work yet to be done. |
2af9354a-0db5-4cda-89bd-a2744c3419d5 | The unsatisfactory standards of hygiene in Street Markets caused me to recommend to the Public Health Committee on a number of occasions that licences for the sale of open foods should not be granted. In 1959 the Committee agreed with my recommendations and referred them to the Street Trading Committee who resolved that no new applications for licences to sell meat, fish and poultry should be considered. It follows that in due course the sale of all such open foods in the street markets of the Borough will cease. The foregoing are some of the positive contributions that were made to environmental health improvement. Perhaps the most important negative point is that in the past 8 years there has not been a serious outbreak of infectious disease this may be due not so much to my vigilance as to the fact that such outbreaks occur only on rare occasions in this country. |
0b418102-f619-487c-904b-0f360f5ddd5b | Statistics; During 1964 the Registrar-General estimated the population to be 46,420 as compared with 50,940 in 1957, a reduction of 4,520; it is considered that no further reduction will take place, but possibly a slight increase in the future. As to causes of death I have to report again, as I have done in previous years, on the number of deaths from cancer of the lung. There were 31 male and only 3 female deaths from this disease. The difference is remarkable and no doubt due to the fact that in times past women did not smoke. I am afraid in years to come this marked 6 difference will be greatly reduced, and that the number of such deaths among women will increase as their use of the "noxious weed" increases. Of the men 16 died before the age of 65 and all the women beyond that age. |
bd5c8766-3ded-463d-92d7-60688a6497a7 | The second cause of death showing a marked difference between the sexes is coronary disease, the figures being 60 males and 35 females. Of the male deaths 25 occurred before the age of 65, and of the females 3 occurred before that age. Other causes of death of special interest are motor vehicle accidents, being 6 deaths in all, 4 male and 2 female distributed at random between the ages of 5 and 65. Under the heading of other accidents, there were 4 deaths, 2 male and 2 female. The cause of death in these cases very often is due to accidents in the home. A matter of special note is the number of suicides for the year which totalled 11, 6 males and 5 females. This is a most unusual occurrence for Bethnal Green and I hope it is but an isolated instance. |
66491e06-c8ac-4505-b291-831f238cf818 | The three last mentioned causes of death must be considered preventable and should be taken note of and followed up to observe the trend. Action has been taken with the aid of Health Education to reduce road accidents and home accidents. The Council is conscious of the problem of suicide amongst people who become isolated and unable to cope with their problems and is contributing to support the functions of the Samaritan organisation, accepting that there is need for preventive work in this field. In conclusion, I wish to thank the Chairman and Members of the Public Health Committee for their encouragement and support and I acknowledge too the co-operation of other Chief Officers and their staffs. I wish also to convey my appreciation to every member of the Department and as this address is a survey of the past eight years I wish, to thank those members of the staff who have worked with me and who have since retired or transferred to other posts. I have the honour to be, Your obedient Servant, S. A. BOYD, |
