Difficulty continued to bo experienced in the recruitment of
suitable persons to undertake Home Help duties and at the end of the
year under review the number of persons available for this service was
three full-time and two part-time workers. There is, however, reason
to hope that in the process of time it will be possible to meet all
demands for assistance of this kind, in fact at the time of the preparation
of this report the number of persons now available for these
duties is four full-time and five part-time workers.
In these general observations I desire to take the opportunity
of expressing my thanks and appreciation to the Members of the Council
for the support and encouragement they extended to mo throughout the
year in the discharge of try duties as Medical Officer of Health. I
also wish to thank the staff of the Public Health Department both
permanent and temporary for their loyal co-operation given freely
and willingly in difficult times.
Your obedient Servant,
H. W. BARNES.
Medical Officer of Health.
