hospitals and In London County Council institutions, but the officers
in charge of both types of accommodation were at all times most cooperative
and helpful in arranging whatever assistance was required.
The personal health services are under the control of the London
County Council and will consequently be reported upon by the County
Council and I have therefore included in this Report merely a summary
of the clinics provided in the area together with some figures of
attendances, etc., which have been kindly provided by the Divisional
Medical Officer, Dr. G.O. Mitchell.
I have endeavoured in my Report to summarise the work of the
Public Health Department during the year and whilst conditions expressed
as figures appear to be satisfactory the actual conditions
throughout the Borough are far from ideal and give little grounds for
complacency.
I would like to express my thanks to the Chairman and the Members
of the Public Health Committee for their help and encouragement. My
thanks are also due to the officers of the Council for their ready
assistance and advice at all times and particularly to my own staff
for their loyal support.
I have the honour to be,
Your obedient Servant,
R. DUNCAN DEWAR,
Medical Officer of Health.
