Public Health Department,
Town Hall,
St. Marylebone, W.l.
To the Mayor, Aldermen and Councillors of the Metropolitan Borough of
St. Marylebone.
Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen,
I have the honour as Medical Officer of Health to submit the following report
on the Health of the Borough of St. Marylebone during the year 1939. My responsibility
for the information it contains extends from the 16th March, 1939, to the end
of the year. Before that period the work of the Department was in the hands of
my distinguished predecessor, Dr. Charles Porter. In accordance with the instructions
of the Minister of Health, the report is brief in view of paper shortage.
The more important matters are, however, dealt with as fully as possible. During
the year continued progress was made in the erection of the Town Hall Extension,
in which the Public Health Department, including Health Centre No. 1, will be
housed.
I gladly avail myself of this opportunity of expressing my thanks to the Chairman
(Councillor Dr. Fuller) and members of the Public Health Committee for the kindness
and consideration they showed me and the help they gave me during the year. To
the staff of the Department I offer thanks and credit for the splendid work they
have done and for the many additional responsibilities they have cheerfully undertaken
as a result of the War.
I am,
Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
H. A. BULMAN,
Medical Officer of Health.
