Construction of the new Council Flats on the Hewling Street
Estate was well in progress by the end of the year. These flats
will afford alternative accommodation to all the overcrowded
families on the housing records.
The work at the Maternity and Child Welfare Centres has continued
to grow in extent as indicated by the figure for attendances
which rose to the highest yet recorded of 25,065, as compared with
20,487 for the year 1937.
I have again to express my appreciation of the consideration and
support shown to me by the Chairmen and members of the Public
Health and Maternity and Child Welfare Committees, and to thank
the staff of the Public Health Department for their loyal assistance
throughout the year.
I have the honour to be,
Your obedient Servant,
F. D. ROSS-KEYT,
Medical Officer of Health.
