in another part of my Report.
The Enfield Medico-Ethical Society also appointed an Advisory
Committee in connection with Air Raid Precautions, and one in
connection with the public health of the district. The function of
each of these Committees is to assist the Council or the Health Department
by tendering advice or giving co-operation when so requested,
on matters affecting the General Practitioners of Enfield
and the health of the district.
Both these Committees have met regularly every month in
my office, and I have been very thankful for the advice and help
I have received.
The Public Health Advisory Committee consists of Drs. D. R.
Chisholm (Chairman), Wade and Adam, and on the occasions when
the Committee has met various matters of importance to the public
health of the district have been discussed.
It will be noticed that the number of Council houses found
to be infested with vermin was only 22 last year, as compared with
80 in the previous year. It would appear that the problem in so
far as Council houses are concerned is diminishing in Enfield.
I would once more tender my thanks to the Council for the
courtesy I have received throughout the year, and to the members
of the Health Department for their loyal co-operation
I beg to remain, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
D. H. GEFFEN,
Medical Officer of Health
