Mr. Fredk. J. Nash, Senior Clerk in the Public Health Department, has
obtained the Certificate of the Royal Sanitary Institute. This will prove of
much value in the discharge of his duties as Senior Clerk.
Mr. J. L. A. Saunders who has been part-time clerk in the Public Health
and School Medical Departments, has now been transferred entirely to the
Public Health Department.
The Inspectoral Staff is still insufficient for the carrying out satisfactorily
of the many and varied duties placed upon them by the various Acts and
Orders which are ever increasing, but an effort is being made to appoint an
additional District Sanitary Inspector as soon as possible.
An additional Health Visitor, and a Junior Clerk were appointed to the
Maternity and Child Welfare Department during the year. These appointments
were long overdue, as in the latter instance a good deal of the work in
clinics fell to the lot of the clerks in the Maternity and Child Welfare
Department owing to the absence of organised help.
At this juncture I should like to extend my very best thanks to the
Members of the Council and the various Committees for their kindness and
courtesy extended to me during my first year of office. I would also like to
thank the Staff for their loyal co-operation throughout a very strenuous year.
I have the honour to be, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
D. REGAN,
Medical Officer of Health.
