PUBLIC HEALTH LABORATORY SERVICE
Very considerable use has been made of the facilities for bacteriological
and other laboratory examinations of public health nature. I take
this opportunity to thank Dr. W.R.G. Thomas, Consultant Bacteriologist at
Mayday Hospital for his ready assistance and most helpful advice which
have been available at all times.
