Scabies was made notifiable in the County of London from 1st August,
194.3, in an attempt to bring this disease, which had been increasing since
1939, under control. From that date to the end of the year, 118 cases were
notified in this Borough.
A third war-time Nursery for 60 children, was opened in Victorian Grove
on the 28th June, 1943. This Nursery rapidly filled to capacity and it
became necessary to send the children who could not be accommodated in this
Nursery to St. Anne's Nursery, by ambulance.
I have again to express my appreciation of the consideration and support
shown to me by the Mayor , Chairman and Members of the Public Health and Child
Welfare Sub-Committees, and to thank the staff of the Public Health Department
for their loyal assistance throughout the year.
S. KING.
Medical Officer of Health.
