Conclusion
This is the last Annual Report which I shall have the
honour of presenting to the members of the Metropolitan Borough
of Southwark. I am particularly anxious therefore, this year,
to express to the Chairmen and Members of the various Committees
of the Council my very sincere thanks for their encouragement
during the years I have served the Council, as well as to Chief
Officers and the staff of their departments, all of whom have
been most helpful in regard to public health matters at all
times. My associations with Dr. W.H.S. Wallace, Divisional
Medical Officer, London County Council, during the years I have
been in Southwark have been very happy and I should like to
express to him and to his staff my thanks for help freely given
at all times. I wish to acknowledge also the great help which
has been received from the Public Health Laboratory Service and
in particular to Dr. Tomlinson, the Director of the local
Laboratory.
The relations of the Southwark Public Health Department
with the family Doctors practising in the area have always been
extremely good and I would thank them sincerely for this.
Finally to the Chief Public Health Inspector,Mr. H. Archer,
the Senior Clerk, Mr. E.A. Clark, and to each individual member
of the staff of the Public Health Department, my very sincere
thanks for their loyal support so generally forthcoming during
my tenure of office as Medical Officer of Health in Southwark.
May I take this opportunity of wishing them all every success in
their future careers.
May I in conclusion also, as the last holder of the office
of Medical Officer of Health to the Metropolitan Borough of
Southwark, be allowed to extend my best wishes first to Dr. J.E.
Epsom, my colleague in Bermondsey, who is now first Medical
Officer of Health of the London Borough of Southwark.
I have the honour to be,
Mr. Mayor, Aldermen and Councillors,
Your obedient servant,
A.D.C.S. CAMERON
Medical Officer of Health
