STAFF
During the year, 30 whole-time members of the Health Area
Staff resigned their appointments and 24 new appointments were
made.
The apparent inconsistency between the numbers of resignations
and appointments is accounted for by the difference between
the number of vacancies at the beginning and end of the year.
Following the resignation of Dr. Watkins and Dr. Poole's
promotion, a vacancy for an Assistant County Medical Officer of
Health remained unfilled until the end of the year. There was
considerable difficulty following from staff sickness.
Miss D. Anklesaria, L.D.S., was given leave of absence without
pay for one year to undertake a post-graduate course at Boston,
U.S.A.
HEALTH CENTRES
(Section 21)
HEALTH CENTRE SITES
The general position remains as detailed in the previous reports,
i.e., six sites have been defined in the Borough on the basis of one
centre per 20,000 population each to serve an area with a radius
of one mile.
Part of the Priory Court Health Centre site is to be used
for the erection of a Health Services Clinic. Working drawings
are in hand. Adjoining is a community centre which is already
functioning.
