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 1959.
This is the Twenty-sixth Report in the series, since I was appointed
your Medical Officer of Health, and it is drawn up in accordance with
the requirements of Regulation 15(5) of the Public Health Officers
Regulations, 1959, and with Circular No. 1/60 of the Ministry of Health,
dated 8th January, 1960.
The Report is again one which relates not only to those functions
which are carried out in my capacity as Medical Officer of Health for the
Romford Borough Council, but, also to those which fall within my
administration, as Area Medical Officer for the Essex County Council.
I trust that you will agree when I say that the report, in general, is
a satisfactory one.
Once again, I have much pleasure in recording my sincere thanks
to the members of the Borough Council, and to those of the Health Area
Sub Committee; to the members of my staff, and to my colleagues in the
other departments for their helpful assistance during the year.
I am,
Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
JAMES B. SAMSON,
Medical Officer of Health.
Public Health Department,
Town Hall, Romford.
(Tel.: Romford 46040).
May, 1930.
