small pool for physiotherapy and a nursery class for earlier
diagnosis. We are also giving urgent consideration to the
extension of Mayesbrook Health Services Clinic, which is

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Officers in my department have, at my request, made
their personal contributions to be found in various parts of
the report. I am grateful for the opportunity of adding spice
and variety to what might otherwise be only my own views
plus a vast collection of statistics and tables.
To these Officers and the whole range of staff of the
department (borough and county) I give thinks for their loyal
support. The various voluntary societies have continued their
valuable co-operation and I again thank them, as also the
departmental Chief Officers, for their kindly assistance.
I have received much encouragement and support
from the members of the Council, especially the Chairmen,
Vice-Chairmen and members of the Ilford Borough and Essex
County Council Committees with whom the department is
closely concerned, and I would wish to express my appreciation
to them.
I have the honour to be
Your obedient Servant,
I. GORDON,
Medical Officer of Health.
