Personal Health Services
These services, as distinct from the environmental health
service for which the Metropolitan Boroughs continue to be
responsible, became the responsibility of the London County
Council on the 5th July, 1948.
For this purpose, Metropolitan Boroughs form nine
divisions, and Hammersmith, together with the boroughs of
Chelsea, Fulham and Kensington, comprises Division 1.
The offices of Division 1 are at 129 Fulham Palace Road, W.6.
Dr. Violet I. Russell, the Divisional Medical Officer, is
responsible for the administration of the services. The day-today
administration is carried out by the Medical Officer of
Health in each of the Boroughs.
Very happy relations continued to exist between the staffs
of the County Council and the Borough Council, and this
pleasing state of affairs is reflected in the first rate standard
of service provided for the public.
The following is a list of the various clinics:—
