On and after July 5th next the responsibility for the local Dispensary
Service will pass into other hands under the provisions of the National Health
Service Act, 1946 ; the clinical work of the Dispensary to the Regional Hospitals
Board and the duties of domiciliary visiting and after care to the London County
Council.
The part that the Council, assisted by the many voluntary workers, has
played in building up so satisfactorily the tuberculosis services in Camberwell
will, I am sure, be remembered with justifiable pride by patients, the local doctors,
and by everyone interested in the civic affairs of Camberwell.
Yours faithfully.
H. W. BARNES, Medical Officer of Health.
