We have never abated our efforts to show, and clearly show, that
our aim is to help, that red tape and officialdom form no part of
our armament, or at least as small a part as is practicable. The
same remarks apply to the relations between the Public Health
Department and general practitioners, which have been extremely
cordial since I took up my duties as Medical Officer of Health.
Finally, it is again worthy of mention that our relations with
the Middlesex County Council have always been of the best, and
have permitted an integration of work which would otherwise have
been quite impossible.
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 Dr. Janet Campbell, my Deputy, and to Mr. A. E.
Gooday, my Chief Public Health Inspector. It is a fortunate
Medical Officer of Health who knows that he has a loyal
conscientious and efficient staff. That, I am very 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
