Public Health Department,
Municipal Offices,
Sheen Lane, S.W.14.
To the Mayor, Aldermen and Councillors of the Borough of Barnes.
Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen,
I have the honour to present my Annual Report for the year 1952.
During the year the health of the Borough has been good, and the
incidence of infectious disease low.
Housing remains our most acute problem in public health. There
are still many families who require urgent rehousing for medical
reasons, and whose health is further deteriorating through living in
poor conditions.
In presenting this report I should like to thank the Council for
their continued support and interest in all public health matters. Also
I have to thank the staff for their good work during the year.
I have the honour to be,
Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
ROSETTA HILL,
July, 1953. Medical Officer of Health.
