To the Chairman and Members of the Heston and Isleworth
Urban District Council.
Gentlemen,
The Annual report this year is designated by the Ministry
as a Survey report, for the purpose of making a general survey of
the conditions of the district during the last five years.
The outstanding matters affecting the health of the district
during the last five years have been :—
1. The continuance of repeated small crops of notifications
of cases of Encephalitis Lethargica.
2. The outbreak of Lead Poisoning due to Beer. (1922.)
3. The continued occurrence of Diphtheria in North Hyde
Schools and its entire eradication after the Schick Testing
and immunizing the inmates.
I beg to express my appreciation to the Council for the consideration
shewn to me during the past twelve months.
I am, Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
ELWIN H. T. NASH,
Medical Officer of Health.
