Annual Report of the Medical Officer of Health.
Health Department,
14, Brampton Eoad,
Bexleyheath,
Kent.
9tli -June, 1938.
To the Mayor, Aldermen and Councillors
of the Borough of Be.rley.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I have to present to yon the Annual Report on the
health of the Borough for the year 1937. The general
health of the Borough continues to maintain a high standard
as is shown in the body of the report.
There were many developments during the year and
although Incorporation was probably the chief of them,
it does not effect any change in the administration of
the health services except that in future reports it is
Ihe intention to give statistics relating to the separate
Wards.
The five year development programme for health
services, commenced in the autumn of 1936, was proceeded
with and shows indication of being completed in
1938; it cannot however be anticipated that the services
will become static, and I take this opportunity of
thanking you for your sympathetic consideration in all
matters affecting the services.
T hereby express my indebtedness to the able and
willing assistance which has been given to me by all the
members of the staff of my department, and assistance
given by other departments.
I am,
Your obedient servant,
GEO. F. BRAHLEY,
Medical Officer of Health.
