fever and two cases of mild tonsillitis amongst the junior nurses.
Nine nurses were Schick tested on joining the staff. Three
were found to be positive. They were immunised but left the
hospital before they could be re-Schick tested. Five probationer
nurses who were immunised the previous year were re-tested and
all found to be negative.
In concluding this report I should like to express my deep
appreciation to the Chairman and members of the Public Health
and Maternity and Child Welfare Committees for the consideration
and courtesy which they have again shown me during
1937.
It is also a pleasure to draw attention to the help and
co-operation which I have received from all members of the
staff. My thanks are due to Dr. Craig, the Assistant Medical
Officer, and Mr. Avis, the Senior Sanitary Inspector. I am
indebted to Mr. Taylor, the Senior Clerk, for his assistance in
the preparation of this report. From my colleagues in other
Departments I have at all times received the most ready
assistance and co-operation.
I have the honour to be
Your obedient servant,
HAROLD ELLIS.
