STAFF.
As I was on service in the London District I was able to keep
to some extent in touch with the work. Dr. Oliver Field, who was
appointed Deputy Medical' Officer of Health, has continued to
supervise tne work of the Department and has been of great service
to the other officials in the Department.
At the Tuberculosis Dispensary, in the absence of Dr. Caley,
Dr. P. Nicol has carried out the work at both Dispensaries in a very
thorough and satisfactory manner.
The members of the staff mentioned in the 1914 Report are
still serving in the forces, and the work is being carried on by
temporary substitutes.
The staff has been augmented by the appointment of an
additional Health Visitor, Miss E. K. Woods, who commenced
her duties in February, 1916.
With regard to the other members of the staff, I am pleased to
report that they have carried out all their duties in a most thorough
and conscientious manner.
I have the honour to be,
Mr. Mayor and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
P. CALDWELL SMITH.
