The second public health visitor whose proposed appointment is
mentioned in the report took up her duties early in 1963.
My thanks are due once more to the Lambeth Old People's Welfare
Association, the London County Council through its Domestic help and
Nursing Services, the Geriatricians and the Hospitals for their continued
co-operation throughout the year.
I acknowledge also the considerable work done in connection with old
people by various members of my staff.
On 3rd April 1962 Mr. R.G. Cutler, Public Health Inspector, retired
after forty-nine years service with the Council and another inspector
resigned to take up employment with another Borough. Three appointments
were made to the inspectorial staff.
There were two further retirements in the early months of 1963 but one
of the students has qualified as a Public Health Inspector and it is hoped
that others will do so in 1964. One encouraging feature in the staffing
position is that it is now possible to maintain the full complement of four
student public health Inspectors.
Finally I would like to thank all members of the Council and Public
Health Committee for their support and encouragement during the year and
also to acknowledge the loyal and conscientious service of the staff of the
Public Health Department.
I am,
Mr. Mayor, Ladies & Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
f. summers
Medical Officer of Health
