It has always been my pleasure in closing this foreword in
previous years to record my sincere appreciation of the help and
co-operation of my colleagues in the Health Department and in
other Departments of the Corporation, and of the help and guidance
of the Chairman and Members of the Committee. These thanks
I again express most willingly and sincerely, but since this is the
last occasion on which I shall present an Annual Report, I would
wish to extend my grateful thanks also to the many individuals
and organisations whose help and co-operation over the past
years has done so much to improve and develop the health services
in Wandsworth. It would be impossible, within the confines of
this foreword, to mention all those who spring to mind, but I
would like to refer particularly to the general practitioners and
staffs of the many hospitals concerned, both within and without
Wandsworth ; the Chief Officers and staffs of the Regional Hospital
Board, the Hospital Management Committees, the Inner London
Executive Council and the Inner London Local Medical Committee;
the Medical Adviser to the Greater London Council
Inner London Education Authority and his staff; the Education
Officer and his staff, both at County Hall and Divisional Office;
the headmasters, headmistresses and teachers of the schools
throughout the borough; and last, but by no means least, the many
Members, both elected and co-opted, of the Council and its Committees,
without whose encouragement and support much of my
work would have been worthless.
To all these and to the many others whose help, advice, and
encouragement I have valued, my grateful thanks.
I have the honour to be,
Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
J. TUDOR LEWIS,
Medical Officer of Health
and
Principal School Medical Officer
