PUBLIC HEALTH DEPARTMENT,
TOWN HALL, WEST HAM.
To the Public Health Committee.
Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen,
"Every Medical Officer of Health appointed under order of
the Local Government Board is required to make an annual report
with regard to the district under his superintendence. The report
is to be for the year ending 31st December. It should be chiefly
concerned with the conditions affecting health in the district, and
with the means for improving those conditions. It should comprise a
summary of the action taken, or which he has advised the sanitary
authority to take, during the year for preventing the spread of
disease, and an account of the sanitary state of his district generally
at the end of the year."
In accordance with the above requisition, I beg to submit my
annual report for the year 1899, and in doing so, desire to point out
that such report must necessarily consist very largely of a summary
of my periodical reports, and other matters which have been under
discussion by the Council during the year, and which, therefore, are
more or less within the immediate recollection of the members.
I am, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
CHARLES SANDERS, M.B.,
Medical Officer of Health.
