As in previous years, I wish to acknowledge the excellent
co-operation that exists between head teachers, parents,
school medical officers and health visitors and to refer to the
work of the education welfare officers whose reports on
families and individual children are instrumental in bringing
to our notice many departures from health as early as possible.
I wish to record the excellent team work of all members
of the staff on which the success of the School Health Service
so largely depends and I wish, also, to express my appreciation
of the help which I have received during the year from
the Chairman and Members of the Committee, from Miss
Smith, the Senior Clerk, from the County Medical Officer
and his staff and from the Borough Education Officer and
his Department.
I am, Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
JOHN LANDON,
Medical Officer of Health.
