General Comments
The year 1972 was a successful year from a Dental point of view. I only wish to make
one comment, and this is taken from the Annual Report of the Chief Medical Officer to The
Department of Health & Social Security: "While the Dental Health of Children continues to
improve it is grossly impeded by the failure to provide for water fluoridation, the ceaseless
opposition to this humane and safe measure makes a mockery of one aspect of the care of
children's heath".
Finally, I would like to thank all Dental Staff for their co–operation in 1972, also all
teachers and the official staff in the Public Health Department.
