is much appreciated by General Practitioners, Hospital Almoners, District
Nurses, and Health Visitors.
During the year the Chief Public Health Inspector, Mr. Mayo, retired
after 36 years of service. I am glad to place on record my appreciation
of Mr. Mayo, both as a colleague and a friend. He was a man widely
experienced and skilled in his profession and could always be relied on to
give sound technical advice. I wish him many years of happy retirement.
The Staff was further depleted by the resignation of a District Public
Health Inspector, and the Department was two inspectors below establishment
for the remainder of the year.
In conclusion I am glad to have the opportunity of thanking the
Chairman and Vice-Chairman of the Public Health Committee for their
help and support throughout the year, and I would place on record my
appreciation of the loyalty and diligence of the Staff in the Department.
I remain,
Your obedient Servant,
John Kerr Brown,
Medical O fficer of Health.
