in our work.
An opportunity was given during the summer months for the public to view the health
services in operation. Tours of the Department and Clinics were organised, and the
visitors were given facilities for free discussion at the end of each tour.
Information has been included in this report with regard to services of other authorities
concerned with the health of the people. It is important that the work being carried out
in an endeavour to obtain a high standard of physical and mental well-being in the community
should be considered as a whole, and I am very grateful to the County Medical
Officer and all those who have supplied information to assist me in the preparation of my
report, which I have tried to make as comprehensive as possible.
I should like to extend my sincere thanks to the Chief Sanitary Inspector and to all
the departmental staff in acknowledgment of their help in the preparation of this report, and
also for their loyal support at all times.
I am, Your Worship, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
Medical Officer of Health.
Manor House, Southall.
