Research and In-Service Training
This essential part of the work of any local authority department
is being fully implemented in the Health and Welfare Department
and reference will be found later in the report of the work of
nearly all the sections. Officers have contributed to the work of
Committees and Working Parties of the Association of Municipal
Corporations and London Boroughs Association.
I wish to express my appreciation to the Chairman and members
of the Health and Welfare Committee, as well as to other
members of the Council, for the consideration and courtesy they
have shown me during the year.
My thanks are also due to all members of the staff of my
department for the loyal and efficient manner in which they have
carried out their duties and to my colleagues in other departments
for their ready help and co-operation.
Finally, my thanks are due to colleagues in the medical
practitioner and hospital services and to all the valuable workers
of voluntary organisations in the Borough.
L. R. L. EDWARDS,
Medical Officer of Health.
