November-Case of Poliomyelitis
I would once again emphasize that the closest liaison is maintained
between general practitioners and the Public Health Department
It is a most pleasing thought that the relationship between
my colleagues in general practice and the Public Health Departmeit
is so very cordial Without this co operation lit need scarcely
be said that maximum results in the field of health can never be
expected By reason of the fact that I am a member of the Medical
Advisory Committee of the Northern Group of Hospitals a member of
the Medical Advisory Committee of Friern Hospital and a member of
the North Middlesex Liaison Committee my contacts not only with
general practitioners but with consultant and other hospital
staffs can be readily maintained I find that attendance at
these Committees is extremely useful since it allows me to gain
an inside knowledge into the working of other branches of the
medical profession, and also permits a free interchange of views

Thirteen of these were in respect of entrants to the Council's employ
for acceptance into the Superannuation Scheme 4 in respect of
