ANNUAL REPORT
of the
MEDICAL OFFICER OF HEALTH.
Health Department,
Guildhall,
Kingston-upon-Thames.
April, 1937.
To the Corporation of Kingston-upon-Thames.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I have the honour to present my Annual Report for
the year 1936.
Circular 1561 (Ministry of Health) as to the contents
and arrangement of the Annual Reports of Medical Officers
of Health for 1936, requests that the Council will direct the
Annual Report of the Medical Officer of Health for 1936 to
be drawn upon the lines indicated therein, and that the
Annual Report shall be an Ordinary Report.
The Circular also states that the Annual Report for
1936 should contain information in regard to the matters
specified in Appendix I, set out as far as possible in the
order there given, under the main heads A to F.
There have been the following changes in the Staff:—
Mr. L. Kluth was appointed as additional Sanitary
Inspector to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of
Mr. H. H. Madams who had obtained a post at Barking.
Mr. Kluth commenced his duties on February 3rd, 1936.
On March 30th, 1936 Mr. N. Smith was appointed as
additional Sanitary Inspector. This was necessary owing to
the great increase in work chiefly in connection with
Housing and the survey to ascertain the extent of overcrowding.
