TO THE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE
FINCHLEY DISTRICT COUNCIL,
Gentlemen,
In presenting this report I wish to acknowledge my indebtedness
to the Chairman and Members of both the Public
Health and Education Committees, and to the Medical Practitioners
in the District, for the assistance and support they
have given me in carrying out my duties. The active co-operation
of the Education Committee has proved a great help in
eliciting early information of the existence of non-notifiable
infectious disease, and has enabled me to obtain the aid of
the Teaching Staff in dealing with matters affecting the health
of the children.
The mortality rates for the District during the past year
are amongst the lowest, recorded in Finchley, and well below
the average of the preceding ten years. The most noticeable
feature in the statistics is the comparatively small number
of cases of infectious disease notified.
