Six complaints of foreign bodies in food were received in the
department and details of these and the action taken are to be found
in the food section of the report.
a few old and infirm persons have caused the department some
anxiety during the year, but in no case was it necessary to invoke
Section 47 of the National Assistance Act, 1948.
Dr.C.F.Stott, the Deputy Medical Officer of Health, has continued
to assist the department throughout the year.
I wish to extend my thanks and appreciation to His Worship the
Mayor and to the Chairman and Members of the Public Health Committee for
the support they have given me during 1954.
I also thank the staff of the Public Health Department who have
worked efficiently throughout the year.
S. KING
MEDICAL OFFICER OF HEALTH
