I wish to record the excellent team work of all members
of the staff on which the success of the School Health Services
so largely depends and, 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
Turnbull, the Senior Clerk, from the County Medical Officer
and his staff and from the Borough Education Officer and
his Department.
I am, Madam Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
JOHN LANDON,
Medical Officer of Health
