Margaret Lane <br /> Hillsborough, N. C. 27278 <br /> Dear Mr.. Robinson; <br /> The foll firing sanitation program study and evaluation has been <br /> compiled to give you an updated report of the workload of the environ- <br /> mental health staff during 1977_ This reporting procedure is done on <br /> a standard form that is used by our Branch to help the local health <br /> departments e al,uate the number of sanita.rians that are needed for <br /> their envire ental health program. The workload of the sanitarian,s <br /> has been comp led in estimated man-days required to perform the <br /> activities which are the responsibility of their section. <br /> Reports were prepared in both April, and May of 1977 for the board <br /> of health whilh showed the percentage of coverage of inspections iu <br /> the food and lodging program and the number of estimated man-days <br /> required for hat program and the environmental program. This final <br /> report indictdes that the workload was even heavier than had been <br /> predicted in May of 1977. <br /> The heavy demand on the sa.nitarians to handle the numerous requests <br /> concerning evaluations of proposed building sites prevented the sani.tarians <br /> from spending adequate time on the food and lodging program. There is <br /> a tremendous need to improve the amount of time:,spent on the food and <br /> lodging pro-ram to ensure that, the degree of sanitation in the food estab- <br /> lislatents is satisfactory. The longer this Program is neglected, the <br /> more difficulfi. it will be to develop and improve this phase of the <br /> envi,rornnenta.l health program. <br /> If the d mands on the sanitarians continue to grow as they have <br /> Cp <br /> during, 1971, he quality of their work can be expected to decrease unless <br />
