The problem of abating overcrowding is receiving constant cosideration
by the Housing Committee of the Council.
I have again to express my appreciation of the work of the staff of
the Public Health Department.
I should like to thank the members of the Public Health, Maternity,
Child Welfare and other Committees for the support and sympathetic
consideration which they have extended to me, and for their keen
attention to the problems which it has been my duty to lay before them.
Copies of this report have been transmitted to the Ministry of Health,
the Home Office and the London County Council, in accordance with
statutory requirements.
I am,
Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
w. h. l. McCarthy,
Medical Officer of Health.
