May I express my thanks for the never failing help and courtesy I
have received from the Public Health Committee and the Council and for
the co-operation I have had from my colleagues throughout the whole of
the year.
I would also like to express my thanks to Dr. Oldershaw, the
Divisional Medical Officer of the London County Council, and to the
members of his staff. It is impossible to divorce the personal health services
which are administered by the London County Council from the
general health of the population for which the Hampstead Borough
Council is responsible, and co-ordination is obviously essential. To
secure this, I have met Dr. Oldershaw together with the senior members
of his staff regularly throughout the year, and in a spirit of friendly cooperation
we have been able to unify the aims and objects of both
Councils in the Borough of Hampstead.
I have the honour to be,
Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
DENNIS GEFFEN,
Medical Officer of Health.
