ANNUAL REPORT
of the
MEDICAL OFFICER OF HEALTH.
Public Health Department,
Guildhall,
Kingston-upon-Thames.
November, 1939.
To the Mayor, Aldermen and Councillors
of the Royal Borough of Kingston-upon-Thames.
Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen,
I have the honour to present the Annual Report for
the year 1938.
Circular 1728 (Ministry of Health) as to the contents
and arrangement of the Annual Reports of Medical Officers
of Health for 1938 requests that the Council will direct
the Annual Report of the Medical Officer of Health for
1938 to be drawn upon the lines indicated therein. The
circular states also that the Annual Report for 1938 should
contain information in regard to the matters specified in
Appendix I, set out as far as possible in the order there
given, under headings (A) to (F).
The form of the Report is of necessity identical with
that for 1937.
I would like to record my appreciation of the friendly
co-operation shewn by my fellow officers, and by the
members of the Council.
The publication of this Report has been delayed by
the preparation for War. The general Public Health and
Welfare work of the Corporation, however, has been maintained.
I am, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
J. W. STARKEY,
Medical Officer of Health.
