There were staff changes in all sections, a healthy influence
up to a point, but one which if carried too far tends to disorganise
a Department, especially as the medical services are
in the main of a distinctly personal character and the
popularity or otherwise of those coming in contact with the
public has a marked bearing on their success.
In conclusion I would like to express my indebtedness to
the Council for their unfailing interest and support of all
measures framed to benefit the public health, and to the
members of my staff for their zeal during a year of great
activity.
I have the honour to be,
Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
A. FAIRGRIEVE ADAMSON,
Medical Officer of Health.
