The nurse indicates which of the requirements are necessary and I can assure
the Council and the Association that it is very seldom that we are unable to
provide them
It is impossible for me to name all those individuals for whose help we are
indebted, for so many are concerned The St Pancras Association for the Care
of the Aged provides a comprehensive service and it seeks to deal with all the
needs of residents of retirement age It is supplemented by environmental care
for often the help of the sanitary inspector and the Housing Department must be
sought. It is the centralisation of the work and its happy administration that
have made it so valuable an entity in the life of the borough

The care of the aged is very human work and I am grateful both to the
Council and the St Pancras Association for the Care of the Aged for my
participation in it.
Conclusion
It rests with me now to thank the Council, and in particular the Public
Health Committee for its unfailing courtesy and support, and to express my
appreciation of the help and co operation I have received from my colleagues
and the staff of the Public Health Department I should like, moreover, to pay
a tribute to the general practitioners of the Borough and the staffs of the many
hospitals situated therein No Medical Officer of Health could have a happier
relationship with his professional colleagues in the Borough in private and
consultant practice than I enjoy and for this I am deeply grateful
I beg to remain.
Your Worship Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant.
DENNIS H GEFFEN,
Medical Officer of Health
