purposes. An arrangement was made with the St. Pancras Borough
Council for Paddington cases to be accepted in their new mortuary.
This new scheme has worked exceedingly smoothly and appreciation
is expressed to our colleagues in St. Pancras for the help we have
received from them. A considerable financial saving to the
Borough has been effected by the new arrangement.
Staff
During the year Mr. A. C. Harrison was promoted to fill the
vacancy of Chief Food Inspector, occasioned by the tragic death of
his colleague Mr. F. J. Pallet. Miss Amor, who had previously
divided her duties as between inspection of food shops and
outworkers and the care of the elderly, became full-time assistant
to the Chief Food Inspector. Mrs. Short, S.R.N., was appointed to
undertake the duties in connection with the care of the elderly
previously performed by Miss Amor, and also to undertake the
investigation of infectious disease in the northern part of the
borough.
Conclusion
I would like to express my gratitude for the help and
co-operation I have received from the Chairman and Members of
the Public Health Committee, the Chief Officers of the Council, and
especially to all the staff of the Public Health Department.
I have the honour to be
Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
H. LESLIE OLDERSHAW,
Medical Officer of Health.
