I have the honour to present my Annual Report for the year 1941
on the sanitary circumstances, the sanitary administration, and the vital
statistics of the Borough.
In accordance with Ministry of Health instructions this Annual
Report has been curtailed and has been set out on the lines indicated
in the introductory letter contained in my Report for 1940.
Once again I desire to express appreciation of the support afforded
me by the Council and to the staff of the Public Health Department
for their continued co-operation and devotion to duty in trying circumstances.
I have the honour to be,
Mr. Mayor, Madam and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,

Medical Officer of Health.
BOROUGH OF BARNES.
REPORT OF THE MEDICAL OFFICER OF HEALTH FOR
THE YEAR 1941.
PREFACE.
In view of the pressure of work in public health departments of
local authorities and the need for strict economy in the use of paper,
this Report, in accordance with the requirements of Ministry of Health
Circular No. 2,604, has been confined to essential and urgent matters
which have affected the public health during the year.
Accordingly I have to make observations only under the headings
which follow.
