Public Health Department,
Parkshot,
Richmond, Surrey.
August, 1942.
To the Mayor, Aldermen and Councillors
of the Borough of Richmond (Surrey).
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I have the honour to present the Annual Report of the Medical
Officer of Health on the Health and Sanitary Condition of the Borough
for the year ended 31st December, 1941.
The Ministry of Health have requested that "on grounds of
national security, care should be taken not to publish in the Annual
Report complete tables of local populations, or quotations from the
figures supplied by the Registrar-General which may enable any
substantial series of local populations to be reconstructed."
The Report is therefore considerably shortened, as several tables
of statistics have been omitted. The figures are however tabulated,
and will be kept in the Department for future reference.
As the Council are aware, this Report deals with a period of
1941 during which I was your Medical Officer, and the period (after
the 3rd of August) during which Dr. Pereira was Medical Officer of
Health.
I am, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
C. S. BREBNER,
Temporary Medical Officer of Health.
