Town Hall,
Hornsey, N.8.
To the Worshipful the Mayor, Aldermen and Councillors
of the Borough of Hornsey.
Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen,
This, my Annual Report for the year 1964 must be
brief and incomplete owing to the necessity to publish
it before the 31st March, 1965, on which date the Borough
of Hornsey ceases to exist as an administrative unit of
local government by merger into the Greater London Borough
of Haringey.
Omission of certain statistics and commentary arises
from the fact that the Registrar General's figures for
1964 will not have been received within the lifetime of
the Borough, Also excluded is an account of local
administration of personal and school health services:
made impracticable due to time factor and pressure by all
concerned in preparatory work of merger into the new
Borough.
Looking back over 15 years, and more, I have been
privileged to serve this Borough as Medical Officer of
Health, I recall most vividly the excellent team spirit
between members and staff in their joint effort to promote
and maintain the health of the public in Hornsey.
I am,
Your Obedient Servant,
G. HAMILTON HOGBEN,
Medical Officer of Health.
March, 1965.
