INTERIM REPORT
of the
MEDICAL OFFICER OF HEALTH
for the Year 1940
To the Mayor, Aldermen and Councillors of the Borough.
Mr. Mayor,Ladies and Gentlemen,
I beg to Present an interim Report on the Health
Services for the year 1940. In accordance with the
Ministry of Health Circular No. 2314 this Report is
again much curtailed, while the full statistics of
the Department's work are being kept up to date as
far as Possible. In an endeavour to be brief, too,
details of the reasons of any changes and developments
which have been dealt with in monthly reports to
Committees are not repeated, nor are those figures
which have been placed before the Committees from
time to time.
The demands upon the Health Services have been
continually increased and extended, and since the
year was an exceedingly hard one it is only my duty
to report that everyone of the Officers in the
Department worked to their utmost, as all have been
conscious of the opportunity given to play an
important part in the war effort.
