proved fatal. The patient who died from this disease was not a
Wimbledon resident.
I should like to take this opportunity of expressing to the
Chairman and Members of the Health Committee my appreciation
for their consideration and courtesy during the year.
I also wish to place on record my appreciation of the cooperation
which I received from the members of the staff and from
my colleagues in other Departments. I am indebted to Mrs. Dymott,
the Chief Clerk, for much of the work in the compilation of the
statistical side of this report.
I have the honour to be.
Your obedient Servant,
HAROLD ELLIS,
Medical Officer of Health.
