[Report of the Medical Officer of Health for Waltham Forest]

The Council had no occasion during the year to review its decision not to support
fluoridation of water supplies and, though my recommendation on this remains as strong, I fear
that while the national legislation lacks teeth, so will the nation's children.
I should like to thank all the staff for their work during the year and also on their behalf
thank all our colleagues outside our own department. May I also thank the members of the Council,
particularly of those committees which officers of this department attend regularly, with special
thanks to Councillor F.W.Marshall, J.P., Chairman of the Health and Welfare Committee, and his
committee, for all their encouragement and help throughout the year.
I have the honour to be,
Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant
Medical Officer of Health.
