The following letters were sent to Friern

February 2nd. Endorsement of Vaccination
Certificates.
April 12th. Collection of Laboratory
Specimens during Easter,
Whitsun and August Holiday oeriodk.
May 8th. Visit to Central Public Health
Laboratory.
June 30th. Influenza.

during Christmas Holiday period.
December 29th. Influenza.
I cannot emphasize too often or too strongly the
need for close co-operation with general practitioners,
without whose help the work of the Public Health Department
would be so quickly stultified. Just as I try to keep the
Public Health Committee informed of all matters in any way
affecting health, I feel it my duty to acquaint general
practitioners with changes in policy and with new developments,
offering and quite frankly asking for co-operation.
I said in my Annual Report for 1953 that we were
indeed fortunate in Friern Barnet in so far as this co-operation
and exchange of information are concerned. This still
represents the happy situation which exists today.
