ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
Medical Officer of Health for the Urban District of Barking
Town, in the County of Essex, for the Year ended 31st
December, 1927.
Public Health Offices,
Barking, Essex.
To the Chairman and Members of the Urban District
Council of Barking Town.
Mr. Chairman, Mrs. Jackson and Gentlemen,
Herewith I beg to submit for your favourable consideration
the Annual Report on the Public Health Services of the Urban
District of Barking for the year ended 31st December, 1927.
It was only late in September that I took up my duty as
Medical Officer of .Health, so that I am unable personally to
speak for more than a small portion of the year under review, but,
for the purpose of complying with the requirements of the
Ministry of Health, I have written the report as though I were
responsible for its entirety.
The report for this year will therefore of necessity follow
closely the report for the previous year, and I wish to express my
indebtedness for the help I have received from that report, and
for the help I have received on every hand from my staff, without
whose aid the present report would have been very difficult
indeed to have produced.
I am, Mr. Chairman, Mrs. Jackson and Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
C. LEONARD WILLIAMS,
Medical Officer of Health.
