It has been a great pleasure to have a seat on the Director's Board and
it is a pleasure to express sincere thanks to the Town Clerk and Chief
Executive, as well as to the other Directors and their respective staffs,
for a tremendous amount of co-operation and help throughout 1971.
Once again, sincere thanks are due to Dr. A.B. Stewart, Medical Advisor
to the Greater London Council, and his medical, dental and other
colleagues at County Hall for being so helpful and understanding throughout
the year.
Thanks are also expressed to the Public Analyst, the Consultant Chest
Physicians, and the Consultant Venereologist, for their co-operation and
advice, as well as for their contributions to this Report. Similarly,
the medical profession, both in hospital and general practice, in the
Borough have earned the gratitude of the Council's medical and nursing
staff and my own for their helpful and co-operative attitude to the
Health Department.
During 1971, the administration of the services which form the subject
matter of this Report, has increasingly involved consultation and exchange
of views with the appropriate staff of the local teaching hospitals,
the Inner London Executive Council and the Inner London Local Medical
Committee, and the co-operation of the Hospital Executive Officers, the
Clerk of the Council, and the Secretary of the Medical Committee is
acknowledged with thanks-
The professional, administrative, and all the staff of this Department
have earned,by their enthusiastic efforts during 1971, very sincere thanks
indeed. Those Officers who were immediately responsible for the medical,
dental, nursing, environmental, chiropody, health education and administrative
services all willingly accepted a particularly heavy burden.
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 Health Services
