The appointment of two qualified nurses to undertake
the investigation of infectious disease as well as the
visiting of old people, did much to relieve the pressure
on the outside staff. Indeed, these appointments have already
proved of immense value, particularly during the
outbreaks of diphtheria and dysentery which occurred during
the year.
In conclusion, may I express my appreciation and
thanks to the members of the Council, the other Chief
Officers and their staffs for their co-operation during
the year. I would also like to record my grateful thanks
to the staff of the Public Health Department for the loyal
and competent manner in which they have carried out their
duties.
I am, Mr. Mayor, Aldermen and Councillors,
Your obedient Servant,
H.D. CHALKE
Medical Officer of Health.
