Hospital Staffs Seek Water Supply Improvements


lO'TEPS to improve the water '5^ supply to Calderstones Hospital, Whalley, Brockhall Hospital, Langho, and Langho Colony, were described on Monday by Mr. Norman Eddleston, secretary of the staff side of the Joint Con­ sultative Committee, who dis­ closed that because the water is so poor in quality, some members of the staff take water from home to drink while on duty.


Mr. Eddleston said the


water was supplied by Black­ burn Corporation direct froril the pipeline carrying the supply from the gathering grounds i to. the town. Conse­ quently it was received Into tne hospital mains without having been filtered and was often of a very deep colour. Its high content of organic matter made . i t a probable source of danger, to health, j


Many representations were'


made unsuccessfully and the staff lost patience with the constant recital that ‘schenqes are being c o n s i d e r e d , ’ especially in view of the f ac t ' that several notices have been Issued in recent months that all water must be boiled be­ fore being drunk.”-


PROTEST


. “Eventually,” Mr. E^filestoa went on,” following a, ni'eStlhlf of protest, the matter-was brought before the Joint Con­ sultative Committee on Octo­ ber 15th, and the committee ivas ; In complete sympathy with our 'desire =to bring the kubject strongly 'to the notice of the ■ Manchester Regional Hospital Board.


I Mr. Eddleston added that,


ihe staff had been glad to hear that: the Manchester: Health Committee and the Regional Hospitals Board were now to take up the matter with the Minister of Health and B l a c k b u r n Corporation.

that post. , ‘4 , i . ; Councillor Entwistle said he


felt that-the matter had been rushed through'^the commit­ tee, and had not received the consideration it merited. ■ “ I feel It Is worthy of further > discussion.” ■
