Ladies and Gentlemen,
I beg to present you my Report for the year 1925 on the sanitary
conditions of the District of Edmonton and its vital statistics.
This report is directed by the Ministry of Health in their Circular 648,
dated December 10th, 1925, to be treated as a survey report, and for this
purpose should include:—
(1) The measure of progress made in the area during the preceding
five years in the improvement of the public health ;
(2) The extent and character of the changes made during that period
in the public health services of the area (e.g., housing, water-supply,
sewerage, scavenging, food inspection or other circumstances affecting the
environment; maternity and child welfare schemes, provision of isolation
hospitals or other services directed to the prevention or cure of disease in
individuals).
(3) Any further action of importance in the organisation or development
of public health services contemplated by the Local Authority or
considered desirable by the Medical Officer of Health.
The above will be dealt with under the various subjects.
