The year has seen many comings and goings.
Some of my colleagues have been drafted into the
Forces and other people have come to take their places
and amongst those who have left us I would particularly
wish to mention Mr. C. R. Sandiford, F.R.C.S. who
passed away on the 22nd August, 1940. He laid the
foundations of your Ear, Nose and Throat Out-Potient
Department; was beloved by everybody, and those of
us who were privileged to work together with him felt
deeply the loss of such a sincere friend. Those for
whom he worked and amongst whom he worked felt his
loss no less.
Towards the end of September 1940, the
Battlers Green Emergency Maternity Home at Radlett
was opened, and arrangements were made for certain
of our midwifery staff to supplement the staff at this
Home. This involved all four District Midwives taking
duty at varying periods.
During the year members of the stiff have
continued to participate in the Civil Defence Scheme,
but for the most part they have been engaged upon their
normal duties in connection with the Public Health and
Medical Services.
