STAFF
Dr. H.A. Mad war and Dr. P.S. Greaves
Dr. H.A. Madwar, who had acted as a part-time Assistant Medical Officer at Sheerness since
1927, intimated that he wished to retire on 30th September 1960. He has always been a most
helpful and loyal friend of the Port Health Authority and his services in a remote outpost of our
jurisdiction have for very many years been most valued not only by my own Department but likewise
by Pilots, Customs Officers and Shipping Agents. We wish him a long and happy retirement.
Dr. P.S. Greaves, who was Dr. Madwar's partner for a number of years and is fully conversant
with the work, was appointed in his place.
Dr. A.J. Fairrie
Oil tankers arriving at Thames Haven do not usually require the attention of the Boarding
Medical Officer but when such occasions do arise it is expedient to have the services available
of a local medical practitioner rather than to send a Medical Officer all the way from Gravesend.
For this purpose Dr. A.J. Fairrie, who is in partnership with Dr. K.C. Morris at Stanford-le-Hope,
Essex, conveniently close to the Thames Haven area, was appointed as occasional Boarding
Medical Officer.
Mr. J.S. Beattie—Port Health Inspector
Mr. J.S. Beattie retired on the 31st March 1960 after thirty years loyal service with the Port
Health Authority. For much of his career Mr. Beattie was stationed at Gravesend where he took
a particularly keen interest in problems of crew accommodation and the welfare of seamen on
board ship. Unfortunately Mr. Beattie was not well at the time of his leaving us but he has
made good progress and we hope that he will continue to improve in health and have many years
of pleasant retirement.
