3. The altering, enlarging and improving of the Mortuary
and Coroners' Court in the High Street, which have
long been totally inadequate and quite unsuited, sanitarily
and otherwise, to the present needs of Lambeth;
4. The special work carried out in the Bacteriological
tory in connection with the outbreak of diphtheria and
pseudo-diphtheria at the Norwood Parochial Schools;
5. The very small number of cases (only 8) in which
monses have had to be taken out on account of noncompliance
with notices served under the Public Health
Acts, e.g., 0.06 per cent. of the total notices served.
The good work done (as tabulated in this Report) is the
outcome of the way in which the Staff, as a whole, has carried
out its duties, and the support that has, at all times, been given
to the Medical Officer of Health by the Members of the Borough
Council (more especially the Public Health Committee). To the
Town Clerk and my other colleagues (the chief officers of the
Borough Council) my own personal thanks are due for advice
and help at all times readily given.
I am, Mr. Mayor and Gentlemen,
Your Obedient Servant,
Medical Officer of Health.
