The presence of the Newcomen Assessment Clinic at Guy's Hospital in the area
of this Borough is especially valuable. The Senior Medical Officer for Maternity and
Child Welfare regularly attends "assessment sessions" thus co-ordinating the services
for the handicapped children in the Borough.
Finally, I would add that the progress made during the year would not have been
possible without the efforts and enthusiasm of each member of the staff and I would
like to record my sincere thanks to them. Also I wish to express my appreciation
to the Members of the Health Committee and other Committees of the Council for
their support, advice and encouragement throughout the year.
I am, Mr. Mayor, Aldermen and Councillors,
Your Obedient Servant,
J. E. EPSOM,
Medical Officer of Health,
and
Principal School Medical Officer.
