Past reports have set out in detail the general health services
available to the population of Hornsey within the Borough and
in the Metropolis. No population in England—or, indeed, anywhere—has
access to a more lavish provision for the prevention
of sickness, the cure of disease and the alleviation of suffering.
That full advantage is taken of these services is obvious to
anyone who reads the annual reports of the Voluntary Hospitals,
Nursing Associations and Municipal Authorities in Greater
London.
