I would like to thank the staff of the Health Department for
the way in which they have carried out their work during the year,
and also to express my gratitude to the Chief Officers of other Council
Departments for the ready co-operation they have shown. I
acknowledge the continued interest and assistance of the Chairman
and Members of the Public Health Committee of the Borough Council
in all measures aimed at promoting and protecting the health of the
people of Finchley.
I am, Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gentiemen,
Your obedient Servant,
A. W. HAY,
Medical Officer of Health.
