Service in the future, this may be my last report to you as a
School Medical Officer, and in doing so, I would like to take this
opportunity of expressing to you the pleasure I have had in
the trust placed upon me in the development of the Service
during the past 20 years, and to the staff who have given such
loyal service. I believe it to have been a good and complete
service, and therein lies my consolation.
