The Public Health Department is a team to which all contribute in the public
health work for which the Borough is responsible and my thanks are due to all
members of the team for their work done during the year. In particular, I have
pleasure in mentioning Dr. A.M. Ison, Deputy Medical Officer of Health, Mr.
W.C. Bartlett, Chief Sanitary Inspector, and Mr. E.J. Sharp, Chief Clerk. The
resignation of Mr. B.J. Ashcroft, Deputy, Chief Sanitary Inspector, at the end of
the year, will be a loss to the Department, but he carried the Department's good
wishes on his promotion to the position of Senior Sanitary Inspector, Borough of
Leyton.
I also have pleasure in again expressing my thanks to the Chairman, Councillor
Mrs. F.H. Cantwell, and to the Public Health Committee ; and to the Chairman,
Councillor D. McArthur Jackson and the Housing Committee for their courtesy and
consideration in the many matters which had to be reported to the respective
Committees.
V. FREEMAN,
Medical Officer of Health.
