The former Tuberculosis Dispensary, now known as the
Chest Clinic , which was transferred from the Borough
Council to the Regional Hospital Board had a successful
year but there has been no alteration in the scheme since
the transfer.
It is with regret that I have to report that Mr. W.F.
Lellow, the Assistant Administrative Officer, retired after
48 years in the Council's service, thirty of which were
spent as chief clerk and assistant administrative officer
in the Public Health Department. Mr.Lellow's long period
of office extended over the regime of all four Medical
Officers of Health since the Borough was founded and he
witnessed great progress in the health and hygiene of
Stepney. He gave of his best to the health service, and
through his enthusiasm and interest contributed in no small
measure to its success.
In presenting my Annual Report I should like once more
to express my gratitude to the Chairmen and Members of the
Committees for their help and interest throughout the year
and to acknowledge most gratefully the willing co-operation
of the Staff of the Health Department.
I have the honour to remain,
Your Worship, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
F. R. O'SHIEL,
Medical Officer of Health.
