ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
This Report is a record of many and varied activities of which the City Health Service may
well be proud, including developments like the arrangements for the diagnosis and treatment of
ophthalmic conditions and of cancer diagnosis. Success in our work has been facilitated by the
active encouragement of the Chairman and Members of the Committee as well as of other members
of the Corporation who take a special interest and by the co-operation of business firms, trade
interests, the general public and where appropriate, of other departments of the Corporation.
Special thanks are due to the Public Health Laboratory Service and the Public Analyst, Dr. H.
Amphlett Williams. This is a welcome opportunity of expressing appreciation to everyone
concerned.
