In closing this Report I would like to pay tribute to the continued co-operation so readily available
not only from the members of the Health Department, but also from those of other Departments with
whom I am often in contact. Again I must draw attention to the valiant efforts of the staff of the
Paddington Citizens Advice Bureaux who are concerned with problems concerning immigrants and
whose co-operation is absolutely invaluable. I could not end this Report without also expressing
my appreciation for the co-operation I have received from members of the police force, particularly
from the Harrow Road Police Station when I have needed to discuss problems which concern us both.
