View report page

of the Health Services in Romford throughout the years. It is
interesting to note that up to the end of the 1920's there were only
two full-time officers in the Health Department, viz.: one Sanitary
Inspector and one Health Visitor, and the growth of the services
only commenced in earnest with the appointment of the first fulltime
Medical Officer of Health in 1934.
In presenting this report, I should like to thank my colleagues
and members of the Council for the help they have given me during
this year, and also express appreciation to everyone who contributed
to the development of the Health Services in Romford over the
years.
I am, Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
Medical Officer of Health.
Tel.: Romford 46040.
