CHAPTER V.
ADMINISTRATION, STAFF.
During the year your medical officers have acted professionally
for the Council, performing 65 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 efficiency impossible without such a service.
I am proud to record the loyalty and diligence displayed in
the routine work of the office, and I take this opportunity of
thanking the whole staff for another year of conscientious 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.
