Appendix 5
COUNTY COUNCIL OF MIDDLESEX
(Area No. 2)
(Friern Bamet, Potters Bar, Southgate, Wood Green)
THE YEAR, 1953
1. INTRODUCTORY
The purpose of this report is to present to the Committee an
over-all picture of the work carried out in the Area during 1953.
It will be appreciated that the report is, of necessity, brief, and
that it has only been possible to touch on the more important
aspects and statistics relating to each section of the Area work.
It will also be appreciated that, to include the work of the School
Health Service, would call for a separate document. For this
reason mainly, the matter of the School Health Service has been
for the moment deferred, although I hope to be able to present a
statement to the Committee at a later date.
It would be true to state that the work carried out by the Area
Health Staff in Area No. 2 last year was relatively uneventful.
Opportunity has been taken to improve and extend our services
wherever possible, and to introduce newer and more up-to-date
methods. Minor changes in administration have also taken place ;
the more important of these will be referred to in the body of the
report. Altogether, the picture can, I think, be justly claimed to be
one of steady progress.
