I am decidedly of opinion that it would have been impossible
to successfully cope with the various outbreaks of Diphtheria and
Scarlet Fever had there not been any provision for isolation in
Hospital.
A large amount of useful Sanitary work has been done in the
Public Health Department during the year, for the details of which
I beg to refer to the report of the Sanitary Inspector, which is
attached to the foot. The table required by the Local Government
Hoard will also be found appended.
In concluding my Report for another year I desire to express
my indebtedness both to the Staff at the Hospital. and to the
Sanitary Staff for their able and willing assistance at all times.
I am, Gentlemen,
Your Obedient Servant,
C. F. FFNTON.
