In September, Dr. James my deputy was appointed Medical Officer of Health
for the London Borough of Bexley. While congratulating Dr. James on his welldeserved
promotion, the Department was sorry to lose a stalwart whose work
in developing the services following the amalgamation in 1965 was invaluable.
It was also with regret that I learnt of the death, after a comparitively
short illness, of Mr. T. Maxwell, former Chief Administrative Officer in the
Department. Our sympathies go to Mrs. Maxwell and family.
I would like to take this opportunity of thanking all the members of the
Health Committee and other Committees of the Council together with members
of the Health Department staff for the support given to me during 1970.
I am, Mr. Mayor, Aldermen and Councillors,
Your Obedient Servant,
J.E. EPSOM
Medical Officer of Health,
and
Principal School Medical Officer.
