Changes in Staff, 1937.
Medical Staff.—In July the Council, on the recommendation
of the Health Committee, appointed Dr. S. King, Tuberculosis
Officer and Assistant Medical Officer of Health, to be Deputy
Medical Officer of Health, and the appointment was subsequently
approved by the Ministry of Health.
Health Visitors.—In the last annual report it was recorded
(page 51) that the Council had decided to appoint two additional
Health Visitors in connection with the increased work necessarily
resulting from the establishment of "toddlers" clinics at each
centre.
At their meeting in April the Council, on the recommendation
of the Health Committee, appointed Miss I. B. Abbott and Miss
K. I. Brown to the new appointments, and they commenced duty
on the 3rd May and 8th June respectively.
Clerical Staff.—Mr. R. Graham, Grade A clerk, was promoted
to Grade B in December.
Maternity Hospital.—Dr. J. O. French's period of appointment
as resident medical officer expired on 31st March, and on 1st May
(the appointment being held by a locum tenens in the interval)
Dr. M. Swain, m.b., ch.b., took up duty and held the office until
31st October, when she was succeeded by Dr. B. H. Bakewell,
m.b., ch.b.
Miss I. Greetham, who held the appointment of sister at the
hospital from September, 1936, left the service of the Council
on 28th May, 1937, and after advertisement Miss R. Osborn was
appointed to the vacant post and commenced duty on 6th October.
Tuberculosis Dispensary.—Miss E. F. Davies, who had held
the post of dispenser at the Tuberculosis Dispensary since it was
taken over by the Council in 1921, was certified to be unfit for
further duty on account of illness, and at their December meeting
the Health Committee decided to recommend the Council to grant
her a superannuation allowance. The matter, however, did not
come before the Council until their meeting in January, 1938.
