In submitting the details of the year's work,
I have followed the instructions laid down by
the Local Government Board for the guidance
of Medical Officers of Health, in a departmental
Memorandum dated December, 1897, the salient
features of which are as follows, viz. :—
" Every Medical Officer of Health is required
" to make an annual report for the year ending
" the 31st December. The report is to be made
" to the Sanitary Authority, and. the Medical
" Officer of Health himself should send a copy
" of it to the Local Government Board and to
" the London County Council. The Board's
" copy of the report should be forwarded to them
" when the original is sent to the Sanitary
" Authority, except where the report is likely
" to be printed by order of the Authority, when
" the Board need only be supplied with a
" printed copy. It is very desirable that the
" Annual Report should be printed, in order
" that a supply of copies may be available for
"distribution among the members of the
" Sanitary Authority and other persons in"
terested.
