Once again I must report the shortage of health visitors which
indicates the need for us to step up our efforts to recruit students
and to endeavour to use auxiliaries wherever possible so as to conserve
the services of highly trained members of the Department.
Much more was achieved than I have been able to indicate in this
short introduction to the Annual Report for 1968, most of which will be
found in the main body of the Report.
In conclusion I must thank all the staff of the department for
their help in 1968, the Health Committee and its Chairman, Vice Chairman
and Members for their support and co-operation during the year.
J. ADRIAN GILLET
Medical Officer of Health.
