Act, the responsibility for the personal health services passed to the
Middlesex County Council on the 5th July, 1948, and Mr. Wharton was
appointed as Chief Clerk in the Harrow Area with effect from the 4th
April, 1949. With the last change brought about by the London Government
Act, when the health services in the new London Borough of
Harrow were joined in one department with the Children's and Welfare
Services, Mr. Wharton was appointed to the post of Chief Administrative
Assistant. I would like to place on record the appreciation of all his
colleagues in the Department, for his long and loyal service and at the
same time extend to both Mr. and Mrs. Wharton our best wishes for a
long and happy retirement. In July we welcomed Mr. M. Powell as our
new Chief Administrative Assistant. Mr. Powell soon settled in and
already has made his mark!
This report is the work of many members of the Department and will,
it is hoped, give some indication of the scope and content of the various
services provided to promote and maintain a good state of health in
Harrow. I would offer my grateful thanks to all who have helped in its
preparation and at the same time record my great appreciation for the
willing and able assistance given by all members of the Department
throughout the year.
Finally, I wish to take this opportunity of thanking the Chairman
and members of the various committees for their continued support
during the year and, at the same time, acknowledge with grateful thanks
the ready help and co-operation of my colleagues and their respective
staffs in other departments of the Council.
I have the honour to be,
Your obedient Servant,
WILLIAM CORMACK,
Medical Officer of Health
Principal School Medical Officer
