To the Mayor, Aldermen and Councillors.
Mr. Mayor, Madam and Gentlemen,
I have deemed it expedient to revise the general
arrangement of the Annual Report so as to conform as
far aS possible with the general directions indicated in the
Minister of Health's Circular 1561, dated 16th October,
1936. The Report now falls under the main heads suggested,
viz.,
A. Statistics and Social Conditions of the Area.
B (I). General Provision of Health Services for the
Area.
B (II). Maternity and Child Welfare.
C. Sanitary Circumstances of the Area.
D. Housing.
E. Inspection and Supervision of Food.
F. Prevalence of, and Control over, Infectious and
Other Diseases.
G. Other Services Supervised by the Health
ment.
It will be found that continuity with the reports of
previous years has not been greatly disturbed by the
re-arrangement, and in order to facilitate easy reference,
the Tables of statistics following section G have been
retained, as in previous years, in the form of an appendix.
The year under review indicates no outstanding event
in so far as the health, or ill-health, of the people of
Bromley is concerned. From the administrative viewpoint
the operation of the Housing Act, 1935, which
Borough of Bromley.
Report of the Medical Officer of Health
for the year 1936.
