To: The Mayor, Aldermen and Councillors
of the London Borough of Havering.
Mr. Mayor, Ladie's and Gentlemen,
I present my report on the health and welfare of the Borough
for the year 1967.
The development and expansion of the various services as
envisaged in the ten year development plan has commenced,
extensions to one clinic having been completed, and extensions
to two others nearing completion at the end of the year. Plans
for a new adult training centre were finalised during the year with
the prospect of commencing building work early in 1968.Meanwhile
an extension to the Junior Training Centre was opened at Hulse
Avenue, Collier Row during the year. Owing to the need for
economy, however, many of the other projects in the Plan have
had to be delayed for the present.
Dr. J.T. Jones, Deputy Medical Officer of Health resigned
during the year on obtaining an appointment with the Ministry of
Health, and Dr. F.W. Murphy, the Principal Medical Officer was
appointed to fill the vacancy.
I record my thanks to the Members of the Council, my colleagues
in other Departments, and to the staff of my Department, for their
help and assistance throughout the year.
I am,
Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
F.GROARKE
Medical Officer of Health.
