Following my appointment as Divisional Medical Officer in
April, I was seconded part- time to the London County Council
until July, after which and pending a permanent arrangement, I
continued as part time Medical Officer of Health for the Borough.
The resignation through ill health of Mr. H. Duck, Senior
Office Clerk, in November, was received with regret. His total
period of service with the Council amounted to 43 years of which
28 were spent in this department. His wide knowledge of Public
Health legislation and special ability in statistical methods made
him an invaluable colleague.

under the National Health Service Act.
