2 Report of the Medical Officer of Health for 1949.
This is my twenty-eighth Annual Report, and I would like
to place on record my warm appreciation for the willing and loyal
service given by the staff of the Department throughout those many
years. New services have been inaugurated and from time to
time difficulties in administration have had to be overcome. These
difficulties appear to have been more numerous since the outbreak
of the second World War in 1939 which produced many new and
unprecedented problems, some of which are still with us. None
of them could have been solved without the co-operation of the
staff which has been given so readily.
I would also like to thank the Chairmen, Vice-Chairmen and
members of the sevferal Committees of the Council connected with
the work for which the Department has been responsible for their
sympathetic consideration of new problems as they have arisen
and for the support they have given me throughout.
I am. Your Worship, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
F. G. CALEY,
Medical Officer of Health.
