Staff and General
I again have pleasure in giving mention to the personal aspect, since the Department
must do its work as a team, but my thanks in particular, are expressed to Dr. J.P.J. Burns,
Deputy Medical Officer of Health, to Mr. W.C. Bartlett and Mr. H. Plinston, Chief and
Deputy Chief Public Health Inspector respectively, and Mr. E.J. Sharp, Chief Clerk.
It has become customary in recent Reports to refer to the good liaison which is
present between the Borough's Health Department and Health Division 3 of the London County
Council which covers Islington in respect of the personal health services. I must, therefore,
again express my thanks to Dr. Wilfrid G. Harding as Divisional Medical Officer, and to his
staff for their continued co-operation which is taken for granted in everyday practice.
I should again like to express my thanks to Alderman A.J. Rogers, Chairman of the Public
Health Committee, and to Alderman E.J.W. Bayliss of the Housing Committee, and to the members
of these Committees, to which the work of the Public Health Department is principally
reported, for their continued courtesy and careful consideration of the many and sometimes
contentious matters which I placed before them during the past year.
V. FREEMAN,
Medical Officer of Health
