Executive as well as the other Directors, and their respective staffs, for
all for all their co-operation and help during 1970.
Dr. A.B. Stewart, Medical Adviser to the Greater London Council and
Inner LOndon Education Authority and his colleagues at County Hall, were
as usual available to provide understanding and advice during the year and
one was most grateful for this.
I should like to thank also the Public Analyst, the Consultant
Chest Physicians, and the Consultant Venereologist, for their co-operation
and advice and, in particular, for their contributions to this Report.
Similarly, the medical profession generally in the Borough have earned the
gratitude of the Council's medical and nursing staff and myself for their
helpful and co-operative attitude to the Department.
Reference is made in this Report to the substantial re-organisation
of the Social Services and of the administrative structure of the Community
Services which took place during 1970. This placed an exceedingly heavy
burden on professional and administrative staff alike, and my sincere
thanks are due to all of them for the manner in which they overcame the
consequential difficulties.
I have the honour to be, Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
A.D.C.S. CAMERON,
Medical Officer of Health and Director of Community Services
