In the following pages the duties carried out by the Health Department
during the year are described in some detail under various sections of
the report; and I wish here to pay tribute to the loyal and valuable
work undertaken by the sanitary inspectors and clerical staff
At the end of the year my deputy—Dr J L Patton—was appointed
Medical Officer of Health in the neighbouring Borough of Hendon, in
which new capacity the Council has expressed their good wishes and
appreciation of his past services in Hornsey He has since been succeeded
by Dr A Yarrow
In conclusion I wish to record my sincere gratitude to the Chairman
(Councillor Miss Anderson) and to the members of the Health Committee
for their patience and support; and for the help and co-operation of
all departments of the Corporation
I am,
Your obedient Servant,
G Hamilton Hogben,
