[Report of the Medical Officer of Health for Wimbledon]

The proposed use of oral vaccine was announced during the year, but the
introduction of the vaccine into this country did not take place until 1962
and does not therefore belong to this Report.
Same progress was made during the year towards the establishment of
Smoke Control Areas throughout the Borough under the Clean Air Act 1956.
I should like to take this opportunity of expressing to the Chairman
and Members of the Health Committee my appreciation for the consideration and
courtesy which they have shewn to me during the year.
I would also like to express my thanks to all those associated with the
local Health and Social Services, both official and voluntary, for their
continued co-operation during the year. In particular, I would like to
mention the contribution of the Senior Public Health Inspector and Chief
Clerk in the production of this Report, and the co-operation and loyalty of
all members of the Public Health Department staff.
I have the honour to be,
Your obedient Servant,
P.J. DOODY
Medical Officer of Health
