and the Borough, and we were sorry to lose her. She left with good
wishes from all of us for a long and well deserved retirement. In her
place the Health Committee appointed Mrs. M. I. Richards, who
took up duties in August as a Visitor for Old People, and Infectious
Diseases. Mrs. Richards quickly picked up the work, and has proved
a valuable member of the Department.
The publication of my Annual Report provides a pleasant opportunity
for thanking many people who have helped me personally, and the
Department, through the year. They are too numerous to mention, but
I would particularly like to thank Councillor Miss E. A. Coles, J.P"
Chairman of the Health Committee, for her continued help and guidance,
and all members of the Health Committee and the Housing Committee
for their support. I should like, also, to thank all the staff of the Health
Department, especially the Chief Public Health Inspector, Mr. Weeks,
and all the Chief Officers and their staff for their help and co-operation
during the year.
I have the honour to be, Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
J. TUDOR LEWIS,
Medical Officer of Health
June, 1962.
