Juanita Bartlet, 239 Pheasant Circle, Pittsburg, describing

the Board consider that there is now no State law or County ordinance
requiring food handler certification for hospital workers, including
nurses, doctors, dieticians, and waitresses; nursing home cooks; or
in-home care attendants. She suggested that the Board enact such a
regulation, and in addition, that the background of in-home attendants
be checked for police and drug records.

as in-home attendants.

Bartlet are REFERRED to the Social Services Director and the Health
