There was little change in the incidence of notifiable
infectious diseases as compared with recent years except for a
large increase in measles and whooping cough, both of a mild
nature.
I am indebted as always to Mr. Judd, the Chief Clerk and
to all the staff of the Department for their loyal support throughout
the year. Mr. Woods, at the time of writing this report, has
completed twenty-five years as your Chief Sanitary Inspector.
His great help to me during these years of development of the
Health Department is an example of good and true relationship
between a medical officer of health and chief sanitary inspector,
without which no health department can operate successfully.
I am,
Your obedient Servant,
K. E. TAPPER.
June, 1951. Medical Officer of Health.
