SECTION 47, NATIONAL ASSISTANCE ACT, 1948, AND NATIONAL ASSISTANCE
(AMENDMENT) ACT, 1951 AND 1962
During the year, 11 cases in possible need of care and attention
were investigated and kept under observation with the services of the
district nurse, health visitor, home help, meals-on-wheels, as necessary.
Subsequently, 2 of these cases were voluntarily removed to hospital.
MEDICAL EXAMINATION OF STAFF
I examined 53 officers and staff of the Chigwell Urban District
Council and 9 officers and staff of the Essex County Council on appointment
for duties in the District; also 10 Chigwell Urban District Council staff
and 6 Essex County 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 ray 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.
