It is to be hoped that some amendment of the Act may make it
possible for us to co-ordinate health work in our Borough. In
the meantime you can look back over the past fifty years with
great satisfaction and feel that the efforts made by the Council
in the past have borne good fruit in the immediate picture presented
by the general maintenance of health in the Borough, as reflected
in the pages of this report.
Dr. T. Anderson, who was appointed in December, 1947,
commenced his duties with you as an Assistant Medical Officer
and Resident Medical Officer at Clayponds Hospital. He was
appointed as Deputy Medical Officer of Health in succession to
Dr. G. Taylor, and resigned from this post in November, 1950.
We much regret the loss of his services, as he made a distinct mark
in Ealing as a capable and efficient officer. I should like to take
this opportunity of expressing my appreciation of the work he did
whilst acting as my Deputy. I should also like to express my
appreciation of the assistance given me by various members of the
staff in the completion of this report, and to all the staff for their
excellent work during the year. You have been extremely fortunate
to have them.
I have the honour to be,
Your obedient servant,
W. G. BOOTH,
Medical Officer of Health.
