to set up a Panel which over many hours reviewed evidence, and
made important recommendations to abate a problem, no greater
in Bromley than elsewhere, which time alone may heal.
In conclusion, I wish to thank the Heads of Sections and
all my loyal staff for their zealous and enthusiastic services throughout
the year. My thanks are also due to the Town Clerk and
other Chief Officers.
The Department has enjoyed the co-operation of the numerous
voluntary organisations of the Borough and is grateful for their
assistance and understanding.
The advice of Adminstrative Officers of the Hospitals, Executive
Council and Local Medical Committee have been readily
available and welcomed.
The general medical practitioners of the Borough have had
the friendliest relations with the staff of the Health and Welfare
Department and there has been mutual understanding of problems
and objectives for the future.
The Press services of the Borough have contributed in no
small measure by interesting articles and by informed comment to
the work of the Health Services.
Finally, I would like to thank the members of the Council and
in particular the Chairman and Members of the Health, Welfare
and Children Committee for their help and understanding of the
priorities and needs of the Health Services of the Borough.
L. R. L. EDWARDS,
Medical Officer of Health.
