for office. Nineteen officers were also medically examined with a view to
their retirement, and of these 9—or 47.3 per cent.—were reported to be
unfit for duty.
In addition to the foregoing, seven medical examinations were made of
persons accepted by the Central (Unemployed) Body, on the recommendation
of the City of London Distress Committee, for employment on the Labour
Colony at Hollesley Bay, established by the Central Body under the
Unemployed Workmen Act, 1905.
In conclusion, I desire to express to the Sanitary Committee my appreciation
of much kindly consideration extended to me during the past year, and
to recognise as fully as possible the loyal support and hearty co-operation of
the staff by whom, of necessity, the greater part of the actual work has been
carried out to the entire satisfaction of the Corporation.
I have the honour to be,
Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
Medical Officer of Health for the
City of London.
