Public Health Department,
Town Hall,
Haverstock Hill,
Hampstead, N.W. 3.
17th April, 1923.
To the Mayor, Aldermen and Councillors
of the Metropolitan Borough of Hampstead.
Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gnetlemen,
I have the honour to present to you my Aunual Report for the
year 1922.
It is compiled in accordance with the Ministry of Health's
directions, conveyed in their Circular No. 359, issued on January 10th,
1923. This accounts for its unusually small size and the restricted
amount of information it contains.
Still, I trust it contains a complete epitome of the health activities
for 1922, a year which was not distinguished by any remarkable event
in a Public Health sense.
The summary on page 5 gives the vital statistics in an easily
understandable form, and shows that our Borough fully maintains its
position as one of the healthiest urban districts in the kingdom.
I would like to take the opportunity of expressing my thanks to
the Council, especially to the Chairmen and Members of the Public
Health, Housing, and Maternity and Child Welfare Committees, for
the support and sympathetic consideration they have afforded me.
I desire also to place on record my appreciation of the work of the
Staff of the Department, who have at all times accorded me their loyal
and unselfish co-operation.
I have the honour to be,
Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
FRANK E. SCRASE,
Medical Offrttr of Health.
