Minutes:
The Mid Kent Environmental Health Manager presented a report which provided an update on the work of the Mid Kent Environmental Health Service for Maidstone during 2018/19.
The Committee noted that the service would look at new opportunities to identify potential for income streams across the service during 2019/20, for example giving food hygiene or contaminated land advice.
In response to questions from Members, the Officer responded as follows:-
·
The team would like to explore further the
registration and inspections on businesses that carry out lip
filling and would discuss this direct with the Member outside of
the Committee meeting.
·
A formal letter was given to those food businesses
that score 2 or below which detailed the work they needed to carry
out to comply with the relevant standards. The businesses would be revisited by officers
within a given timeframe. Businesses
also had the option to appeal against the risk rating which was
undertaken by both Food and Safety Team Leaders. They also have the option to request a Rescore
Inspection but would need to pay for this full inspection.
· ‘A’ rates premises presented the highest risk rating and in 2018/19 two Maidstone businesses received this score and therefore received two inspections each during the year (four interventions).
·
If an Officer inspected a business that they
considered a danger to the public then an emergency hygiene
prohibition notice would be served on the premises.
RESOLVED: That the Communities, Housing and Environment Committee noted the content of the report.
