CHAPTER V.
ADMINISTRATION, STAFF.
During the year your medical officers have acted professionally
for the Council, performing 73 clinical medical examinations
of actual or potential staff and have provided a number of
special reports to the various Committees of the Council. This
activity helps in the provision of a medically sound personnel for
all activities of the Council and enables special consideration to
be given to any unusual case of sickness, thereby maintaining a
standard of efficency impossible without such a service.
There have been no changes in the staff of the department
during the year and I am proud to record the loyalty and diligence
displayed in the routine work of the office. I take this opportunity
of thanking them for another year of conscienteous effort.
I would conclude by an expression of appreciation to all
members of the Council, especially those who serve on the Highways,
Works and Public Health Committee and particularly the
Chairman for the admirable way in which they have directed the
policy of the Department during the year.
I have the honour to be, Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
E. GRUNDY,
Medical Officer of Health.
