(c) Any further action of importance in the organisation
or development of public health services
contemplated by the Local Authority or
considered desirable by the Medical Officer of
Health.
I have endeavoured so far as can be done with
reasonable brevity to carry out these instructions.
I am indebted to the Borough Surveyor, Mr. A. F.
Holden, for that part of the report dealing with the
removal and disposal of refuse, while Dr. J. Sullivan,
the Tuberculosis Officer, is responsible for the section
of the report dealing with the work of the Tuberculosis
Dispensary.
With the completion of this report I terminate my
duties with the Fulham Borough Council. It is with
feelings of real regret that I leave Fulham, and it is
some satisfaction to know that in my new position under
the London County Council I shall still be intimately in
touch with the work which I have been carrying on in
Fulham during the past four years. I should like to
express my gratitude for the unfailing kindness and
support which I have received from the members of
the Council, particularly from the Chairmen of the
Public Health and Maternity and Child Welfare
Committees, with whom my work has been particularly
associated. To my brother officers also I would
desire to express my thanks for unvarying help and
support ; particularly does this apply to the members
of the staff of the Public Health Department. The
voluntary workers associated with the Infant Welfare
Centres, Babies' Hospital, Day Nursery and District
Nursing Association have also done everything possible
to make me look back upon my period of office
in Fulham with feelings of gratitude and pleasure.
I am, Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
A. MIDDLFTON HEWAT,
Medical Officer of Health.
