measures for assisting consumptive persons in the Borough, may
at last he considered to be in a fair way towards consummation,
for at the time of putting together this report a contract for
the purchase of premises suitable for the purpose, and approved
as such by the Local Government Board, has alreadv been signed.
The further question of dealing with Infant Diarrhœa during
the hot weather was dealt with in a tentative manner by the
appointment of an additional Woman Inspector in a temporary
capacity during the summer months. This year it is proposed to
enlist the services of the various District Ranyard and St. John
the Divine Nurses to carry out this work in a systematic manner
throughout the whole of the Borough all the year round. During
the compiling of this report definite steps are being taken to provide
an Infant Consultation in East Greenwich, for which purpose
a Representative Committee of ladies interested in such work has
been formed, and the Consultation is to be opened at the beginning
of June.
In conclusion I have again to tender my best thanks to each
and all Members of the Council, and the Public Health Committee
in particular, for their continued kindness and support, and also to
the Members of the Staff for the manner in which their duties
have been performed.
I am, Gentlemen,
Yours respectfully,
ERNEST G. ANNIS.
