BOROUGH OF ROMFORD
To His Worship the Mayor, Aldermen, and Councillors of the
Borough of Romford.
Mr. Mayor, Ladies, and Gentlemen,
I have the honour, herewith, to present to you this, my
Annual Report on the Health of the District for the year 1955.
This is the Twenty-second Report in the series, since I was
appointed your Medical Officer of Health, and it is drawn up in
accordance with the requirements of Article 17(5) of the Sanitary
Officers' (Outside London) Regulations, 1935, and with Circular
No. 17/55 of the Ministry of Health, dated 23rd November, 1955.
The position 1 hold is that of Medical Officer of Health for
the Borough, and Area Medical Officer for the Romford Area of
the Essex County Council. So far as this Report is concerned, it
deals with my duties in both capacities.
My thanks are again gratefully tendered to all the members
of the Borough Council, and the Health Area Sub-Committee, to
the members of my staff, and to my fellow officials for all the
assistance they have given me in the compilation of this report, or
in the performance of the work.
I am,
Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
JAMES B. SAMSON,
Medical Officer of Health.
Public Health Department,
Town Hall, Romford.
May, 1956.
