The laundry service for the bed-ridden (soiled garments and
bedding) continues to serve a useful purpose.
Dr. Wyman and the staff of the Fulham Hospital co-operate most
helpfully and actively regarding admission of the aged sick, and
patients are admitted as soon as possihle. Owing, however, to the
small number of beds available and the usual long occupancy of each
bed, there is a waiting list.
As this report goes to press I regret to record the death of Mr.
C.J. Price, a Sanitary Inspector with this Council for twenty-one years,
a loyal and faithful officer of the Council who did valuable work with
the Civil Defence Section during the 1939-1945 war.
May I again express my indebtedness to the members of the Council
for their continued help and consideration and especially to the past
and present Chairman of the Public Health Committee and the past and
present Chairman of the Staff Committee for the sympathetic and understanding
manner in which they have always considered the special
problems relating to the work of the Public Health Department.
Cordial thanks are due to all my Chief Officer colleagues and the
members of their departments for their kindly help, and also to the
staff of the Public Health Department for the consistently loyal way
each member has carried out the work which has made this report
possible.
I have the honour to be,
Your Worship, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
