With these the rest of this report is concerned and members will find much to encourage
and interest them in the pages that follow, together with food for thought where the Council
services are falling short.
It remains for me to thank all the staff for this work through the year and particularly for
the loyal work of some senior staff who had reason to feel personally anxious and threatened by
changes which the Council were, or appeared to be, contemplating. I should also like to thank my
colleagues and all the staff of other departments who have co-operated in so friendly a way during
the year.
Finally may I thank the members of the Counci I committees concerned with the work of the
department but particularly the Health and Welfare Committee, with special thanks to the present
Mayor, Council lor Mrs.P.K.WiIIiams, whose support, help, and enthusiasm as Chairman in a
situation where much was new, was much appreciated, and also to Councillor F.W.Marshall, J.P.,
Chairman f or the early part of the year.
I have the honour to be,
Madam Mayor, ladies and gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
Waltn Wright
Medical Officer of Health
