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 1956.
This is the Twenty-third 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. 19/56 of the Ministry
of Health, dated 11th December, 1956.
As the position I hold is a "mixed" one, being that of Medical
Officer of Health for the Borough, and Area Medical Officer for the
Romford Area of the Essex County Council, it is convenient to deal with
both duties in this one Report.
As before, my best thanks go 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 their kind aid, during the year, and
for their keen interest in all matters pertaining to the health, and, wellbeing
of the inhabitants of the town.
I am,
Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
JAMES B. SAMSON,
Medical Officer of Health.
Public Health Department,
Town Hall, Romford.
