BOROUGH OF SOUTHWARK.
Public Health Office,
Town Hall, Walworth Road.
Sir and Gentlemen,
I have the honour of submitting for your consideration ray TwentyFourth
Annual Report which deals with the vital statistics and general
sanitary work of the Borough for the year 1910.
The health of the inhabitants of the Borough has been good. There
has been no outbreak of infectious disease of any importance, with
the exception of Measles, and the infant mortality has been comparatively
low.
There has been a large amount of work in connection with the
Tabard Street Area Scheme, the increased notification of Phthisis, the
expansion of the work under the Pood Regulations, especially in connection
with Beef imported from Australia, and a host of other matters.
We have suffered at the same time from an impaired staff, which has
made the work difficult.
I have to thank especially the clerical portion of the staff, for the
overtime given to their duties.
The whole staff has done excellent work, which can be seen by the
most casual inspection of the district.
I have to thank the Council and the Public Health Committee for
their courtesy and support.
I have the honour to be,
Your obedient servant,
G. B. MILLSON,
Medical Officer of Health.
To the Mayor, Aldermen and Councillors
of the Borough of Southwark.
