From the information I have given, my thanks are clearly due
to colleagues in other sections of the Health Service for continued
help and co-operation. Of the officers of the Health
Department, while thanking all, I would pay special tribute to
the Chief Public Health Inspector and other members of his staff
who are carrying out with efficiency and enthusiasm, all the
essential detailed work to implement the Corporation's Clean Air
policy. On the Immunisation Officer, Mr. Huggins, has fallen
the major burden of coping with the clerical work of the Poliomyelitis
campaign, with sudden changes in supply and demand of
vaccine, and new developments as scientific opinion alters.
I am happy to repeat my customary thanks to all the members
of the Committee for their unfailing encouragement and support,
especially to the Chairman, both in his present capacity and
when as Vice-Chairman, he was carrying also this responsibility.
I would record, my deep regret shared by very many members of
the department who knew him personally, at the death of Alderman
Hard during his third year as Chairman of the Health Committee.

and Principal School Medical Officer
