Mr. Mayor, Ladies, and Gentlemen,
I have the honour to submit the Annual Reports on the
work of the Public Health Department for the year ending
31st December, 1923, together witli my Report as School Medical
Officer. The Reports have been prepared in accordance with the
requirements of the Ministry of Health and the Board of

In my last Annual Report I outlined the development of the
Public Health Service in Wimbledon, and stated that consolidation
of the different branches of the work was essential for
economy and efficiency. This consolidation was begun in 1923
by amalgamating the Maternity and Child Welfare and School
Medical branches, but the best results can only be attained
