BOROUGH OF ROMFORD
To His Worship The Mayor, Aldermen, and Councillors of the Borough
of Romford.
Me. 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 1958.
This is the Twenty-fifth 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. 22/58 of the Ministry
of Health, dated 9th December, 1958.
As is known, the position I hold is a "mixed" one, being that
of Medical Officer of Health for the Borough, and Area Medical Officer
lor the Romford Area of the Essex County Council. For convenience
the work of both appointments is comprised in this one Report.
My best thanks, as usual, go to all 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 assistance throughout the year, and
for their ever ready co-operation in all matters likely to further the
interests, and well-being of the residents in this town.
I am,
Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
JAMES B. SAMSON,
Medical Officer of Health.
Public Health Department,
Town Hall, Romford.
