and improvement of the standard of working conditions, coupled
with unsympathetic criticism of the activity and mistakes of others is
most debilitating, not only in the health service, but in other walks of
life. One of the needs of the time is unselfish concentration on, and
devotion to the job in hand.
May I, in conclusion-, Ladies and Gentlemen, express my appreciation
of the sympathetic consideration given by members of the Council and
my colleagues to the problems and frustration we have experienced during
the last year, and tender my thanks to the Chief Sanitary Inspector who
has assisted me in the preparation of the section of this report in which
he is most interested. He and his staff, affected but little by recent
reorganisation, have made a very useful contribution to the health of the
District, and will, I am sure, have an increasing influence as part of the
more closely welded team which is in process of construction.
I am, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
F. R. EDBROOKE,
Medical Officer of Health.
