I must also mention the co-operation which exists between the
Public Health Department and the Middlesex County Council. Our
work must of necessity be closely inter-related. It must also be
harmonious if maximum results are to be achieved. This interrelationship
and harmony have been a feature of preventive
medicine in Southgate since 1948, and have undoubtedly produced
most beneficial results.
In conclusion, I would express my most sincere thanks to the
Public Health Committee and to the Borough Council for the
continued courtesy and assistance which I have come to expect as
Medical Officer of Health. I would also express my grateful thanks
to every member of the Public Health Department, and in particular
to my Deputy, Dr. Janet Campbell, and to Mr. A. E. Gooday,
Chief Public Health Inspector. Any Medical Officer of Health is
fortunate when he knows that he has a loyal, conscientious and
efficient staff. That, I am extremely glad to say, has always been
my own position.
I am, Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen
Your obedient Servant
W. C. HARVEY
Medical Officer of Health
