The Health Education Officer has attended six committee meetings on
the Lambeth/Wandsworth V.D. project (sponsored by the H.E.C.) and three
meetings of the South London Working Party on Education about Sexually
Transmitted Diseases, and one meeting of the London Boroughs H.E. Training

During 1972 an attempt has been made to establish a small Health
Education media resource centre for the use of all persons concerned with
health education, to assess the needs of the Borough, and to establish
relationships with various personnel.
It is hoped that a foundation has been laid, from which an efficient and
worthwhile service can operate and expand to the priority areas.
