The efforts of your Council have been considerably
augmented by those of the voluntary societies engaged in
maternity and child welfare in the Borough.
With regard to infectious diseases the total number notified
was below the average.
The sanitary condition of the Borough is not of a very
satisfactory nature and it is to be regretted that a very considerable
amount of overcrowding still exists. The Council's
Housing Scheme is nearing completion, but up to the present
no improvement in housing conditions has resulted in the
congested areas.
It will be observed that 3,836 Intimation Notices and
1,044 Statutory Notices were served during the year. This
fact in itself tends to show the condition of the Borough.
I am, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
J. B. HOWELL,
Medical Officer of Health.
