ANNUAL REPORT
of the
MEDICAL OFFICER OF HEALTH
FOR THE YEAR 1945
Public Health Department,
Town Hall,
Acton, W. 3.
To the Mayor, Aldermen and Councillors
of the Borough of Acton.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
We beg to submit the annual report on the health of the Borough
for the year 1945. The Annual Report of the School Medical Service
is given separately at the end.
Dr. Payne, Medical Officer of Health, has been on active service
during the whole of 1945, and this report on the work of his department
has been compiled in his absence.
1945 saw the end of the war with the consequent winding up
of all Civil Defence services, and the closure of all First Aid Posts
and Ambulance Depots. The Civilian Ambulance Service which
had been stationed at one of the Civil Defence Depots, was carried
on in the same premises and, in the main, by the same people,
until the end of the year. Details of the service are contained in
the Annual Report.
