close team work among all who are engaged in the work of
medicine in all its implications; I would like to see this
liaison closer, The public are always ready to listen to
advice and information on health matters - the doctor in the
literal role of teacher; but the information must be sound,
based on accurate observation and experiment, and capable of
proof. During the year the Department increased its
educational activities and issued leaflets, posters and cinema
slides on a number of subjects. The effort appears to bo
well justified and worth increasing,
During this year, the volume of work undertaken by
the Department continued to grow Once again' I have to
acknowledge the great loyalty of the staff and their unfailing ,
willingness I desire also to record my gratitude to the
Chairman and Members of the Public Health and Maternity and
Child Welfare. Committees for their helpfulness and support,
which were of the greatest encouragement through this difficult
period. I desire also to acknowledge with thanks the friendly
co-operation and help which I received from by colleagues in
other Departments of the Corporation and the other Members of
the Council
I am, Mr, Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
JOHN MADDISON
Medical Officer of Health.
