regard to the Royal Commission's Report, but should they decide to
implement its main recommendations, it is obvious that the Health
Committee would have to undertake quite a number of additional
tasks.
When it comes to thanking the many people who help me
during the year, I always feel very humble and conscious of the
major contributions to the successful running of the Department
made by others. My deputy, Dr. Kelynack, is always behind me
to give of both his advice and help, and Mr. Crowe, the Chief
Public Health Inspector, has added one more successful year to
the many he has served so well with this authority. To both these
officers I offer my heartfelt thanks, as also I do to all the other
members of the Department. I should also like to express my gratitude
to all those doctors outside the realm of the Department who
help in any way to make my work easier. Finally, very grateful
thanks are due to the Chairman and Members of the Public Health
Committee for their gracious treatment to myself, and for their
keenness and enthusiasm in the work of the Public Health
Committee.
I am,
Your obedient Servant,
H. B. C. CARTER-LOCKE,
Medical Officer of Health.
