Air raid precautions have thrown a great deal of extra work upon the Department;
representatives of all branches of the Department's work have been engaged
in teaching or in organisation. During the latter half of the year the Department
had to work under very great pressure, but I am very glad to be able to say that
all have given their services ungrudgingly and unsparingly.
In conclusion I desire to express my gratitude to the Chairman and Members
of the Committees on Health, and, indeed, to all Members of the Council, for the
interest they have taken in the work of the Department, and for their continued
kindliness, confidence and support. I take this opportunity also of placing on
record my sincere appreciation of the work of every member of the Staff and how
much I owe to them personally.
I am,
Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your Obedient Servant,
J. MACMILLAN,
Medical Officer of Health.
