SECTION 47, NATIONAL ASSISTANCE ACT, 1948, AND NATIONAL ASSISTANCE
(AMENDMENT) ACT, 1951 and 1962
Once again, no formal action was considered necessary during
the year. 12 persons in possible need of care and attention were
investigated. 3 cases were voluntarily removed to appropriate
accommodation, either in hospitals or homes for the elderly. The
remainder were kept under observation at home with the services of the
district nurse, home help, meals-on-wheels and other services, as necessary.
MEDICAL EXAMINATION OF STAFF
I examined 34 officers and staff of the Chigwell Urban District
Council and 6 officers and staff of the Essex County Council on appointment
for duties in the District; also 6 Chigwell Urban District Council staff
were assessed and reported on for sick-pay and superannuation purposes,
following prolonged periods of sick-leave or retirement.
Finally, I would again like to express my thanks to the Chairman
and Members of the Public Health Committee for their support, and to the
staff of the Department for their continued enthusiasm and loyalty. To
all who have provided me with statistical and other information for
inclusion in this report, my grateful acknowledgements are also made.
