Borough of Bermondsey.
ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
MEDICAL OFFICER OF HEALTH.
To the Mayor, Aldermen and Councillors of the Borough of
Bermondsey.
Madam, Ladies and Gentlemen,
I have the honour to submit my Annual
Report for the year 1944. Recent reports have been
statistical summaries only, but this year I have included
a note on the work of the department in
connection with civil defence. The general effect
of war conditions on the health and environment
of this community has also been reviewed.
It remains for me to express our sorrow as a
department at the recent deaths, so tragically sudden,
of the Mayor, Councillor George Loveland, J.P., and
of Mr. H. W. Bush, Administrative Officer, both of
whom, in their differing spheres, laboured for the
good of the borough.
I am,
Madam, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
D. M. CONNAN
