I would like to acknowledge with thanks the figures
regarding the personal health services which I have
included in the report and which were very kindly given by
Dr. F.R.Waldron the Divisional Medical Officer. I am also
grateful to Dr. J.M.Morgan, Director of the Mass Miniature
Radiography and to Dr. Joyce Brown the Chest Physician for
informative and important contributions.
The work of the Department has been hampered byshortage
of Public Health Inspectors and unfortunately
there is no indication that the position is improving.
This Is a serious problem having regard to the Council's
heavy commitments in environmental hygiene. It Is,
therefore, with particular pleasure that I thank the staff,
both administrative and technical, for their work during
the year and to the Chairman and Vice-Chairman I express my
gratitude for the help and support which I receive at all
times.
In conclusion I would like to thank my brother Chief
Officers for their friendship and willing co-operation.
I have the honour to be,
Your obedient Servant,
J. KERR BROWN
MEDICAL OFFICER OF HEALTH.
