of the London Borough of Havering.
Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen,
I have pleasure in presenting my report on the work of the
Health and Welfare Department for the year 1968.
During this year of financial stringency emphasis has been
placed on developing services to maximal efficiency without
expanding resources. The steady increase in the responsibilities
of the Department and the need for economy in leaving some
posts vacant have put further pressure on the members of my
staff and I should like to express my thanks to them for their
work which is summarised in this report.
My further thanks are due to the Chairman and Members of
the Social Services Committee and the Council, and to the wide
range of professional colleagues and voluntary workers whose
co-operation and goodwill is so important in the efficient
provision of services to the public.
I am,
Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen,
F. GROARKE,
Medical Officer of Health.
