The time is rapidly approaching when the implementation
of the recommendations of the Royal Commission on
Local Government in the Greater London Area will bring
about a major change in the local administration of the
health and welfare services. Much thought and energy will
be required to meet both the challenge and the opportunity
which lie ahead.
In conclusion, I wish to thank the Chairman and
Members of the Health Committee for their support and
encouragement, and the Chief Public Health Inspector,
Administrative Assistant, and all members of the Health
Department for the good work which has been done during
the year.
I am.
Your obedient servant,
JOHN LANDON,
Medical Officer of Health.
