CONCLUSION
1963 was a busy year for the Health Department, and showed definite
progress in slum clearance and a welcome reduction in tuberculosis. The
year began with a hard winter and ended mild, leaving the population
diminished but relatively healthy.
I thank all the members of the Department for a hard year's work.
I have the honour to be,
Your Worship, Ladies and Gentlemen,
D.A. SMYTH.
Medical Officer of Health.
