ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
Medical Officer of Health for the Borough of Barking, in the County of
Essex, for the Year ended 31st December, 1931.
PUBLIC HEALTH OFFICES,
BARKING, ESSEX.
July, 1932.
To the Mayor, Aldermen and Councillors of the
Borough of Barking.
Mr. Mayor, Mrs. Jackson and Gentlemen,
Herewith I beg to submit for your favourable consideration my Report
as Medical Officer of Health for the year ended 31st December, 1931.
This Report is drawn up in accordance with Circular 1206, 1931, from the
Ministiy of Health.
There is a growing tendency for some matters affecting the health of the
town to be referred to a joint sub-committee comprised of members of the Health
Committee and the Education Committee. This, so far as it goes, is a welcome
step towards unification, but I do suggest to you that the time is approaching when
all these matters relating to health should be under one Committee.
This Report will show the increase which has taken place in the work of the
Health Sn vices, and I do hope that suitable increases in the staff, particularly the
medical staff, will enable us to maintain the satisfactory services you have carried
out in the past.
I am, Mr. Mayor, Mrs. Jackson and Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
C. LEONARD WILLIAMS,
Medical Officer of Health.
