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, 1928.
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 for the year
ending 31st December, 1928.
Although last year I was responsible for and signed a report
for the year ending 31st December, 1927, this is really my first
annual report to you, because, having only joined your Services
in September, 1927, I was last year only able to speak personally
of a small portion of the year then under review.
The first year in the important office to which you elected
me has of necessity been spent largely in stock-taking and enquiry,
and, equally of necessity, this stock-taking and enquiry has been
somewhat of the nature of an inspection.
It will, I feel sure, be interesting and gratifying to you to hear
the very favourable opinion I have formed of your Public Health
Services.
