Staff.
At the end of September Dr. F. W. Gavin relinquished the
appointment of Deputy Medical Officer of Health and Deputy
School Medical Officer on his appointment as Medical Officer of
Health of another Authority. Dr. Gavin, during his 4½ years'
service as a member of the Health Department, won the respect
and confidence of colleagues and members of the public by virtue
of his sterling qualities and professional ability. His successor,
Dr. Peter Henderson, took over his duties on 1st October.
Dr. Mary Gilchrist, who was granted leave of absence to attend
a post-graduate course of instruction, gained the Diploma in Public
Health of London University with Distinction.
It is my privilege to acknowledge again the support accorded
to me by the members of the Council and the interest shown by
the Chairmen and members of the Committees concerned with the
work of the Health Department. It is with sincere thanks that I
record my appreciation of the industry and loyalty of the members
of the staff of the Health Department.
I have the honour to be,
Me. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant.
