I have mentioned in previous reports that the Public Health Department is a health
team which depends upon the contributions of its various members to the total value of
the services it is able to render I again have to express my personal thanks particularly
to Dr. J.P.J. Burns, Deputy Medical Officer of Health Mr. W. C. Bartlett, Chief Public
Health Inspector, Mr. H. Plinston, Deputy Chief Public Health Inspector and Mr E.J Sharp
Chief Clerk, as the principal officers responsible for the work of the Department
I again have pleasure in thanking Dr Wilfrid G. Harding Divisional Medical Officer
Health Division 3, and his Divisional staff for their full and unstinted co-operation at all
levels in the exchange of public health information and for their part in effecting co
operation and liaison between the Borough's environmental health services and the County
Council's personal health services which is so absolutely essential for the benefit of the
public as a whole.
Finally, I am happy to record my continuing thanks and appreciation to the respective
Chairmen of the two Committees with which the Public Health Department is most intimately
concerned, namely, Alderman A.J. Rogers of the Public Health Committee, and Councillor E J
Bayliss of the Housing Committee. My thanks are also extended to all Members of their
respective Committees for their courteous reception and consideration of the reports I have
placed before them
