LONDON COUNTY COUNCIL PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICES
The personal health services in the borough are provided by the
L.C.C. Close co operation is maintained between the Divisional
Medical Officer, Dr. B.RA. Sharpe, and the Medical Officer of Health
and between appropriate members of their respective staffs. To
facilitate the necessary close co-operation meetings are held between
the Divisional M.O. and the M.O.H. of the three Metropolitan Boroughs
forming Division No. 1 of the L.C.C. Many problems encountered by the
Health Department have aspects which require the attention of the
Divisional services and vice versa. In the former category for example
are the old people with housing cr other environmental problems which are
dealt with by the Health Department and who are often found to require
the assistance of the services of the L.C.C. e.g. Home Help.
The Health Department has also assisted the L.C.C. by providing
accommodation in the Town Hall for public immunisation sessions during
the special anti-poliomyelitis inoculation drive. The location of the
Town Hall close to Fulham Broadway Station enabled many young people
who work in the West End or City to obtain their injections with a
minimum of inconvenience.
The following information on the Clinic Services of the London
County Council and the statistical data have been kindly supplied by
Dr. B.E.A. Sharpe, L. C. C. Medical Officer.
