National Health Service Act, 1946, Part III Services
(Essex County Council)
Particulars of services provided in the Borough under this
heading have been re-written and, for the first time, a short
account of the chiropody service is given. As will be seen, this is
a recently acquired service and, despite a general shortage of
chiropodists, it is possible to give reasonable service to the old
people with clinics functioning at South Woodford, Woodford
Bridge and Wanstead.
I would record appreciation to my Deputy, the Public Health
Inspectorate and the clerical staff for their loyalty and help.
Finally my thanks are due to the Chairman and members of
the Public Health Committee for their unfailing support and the
keen interest they have shown in the work of the department.
I have the honour to be,
Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
FREDERICK G. BROWN, T.D., M.B.,
B.Ch., D.P.H.
Medical Officer of Health.
