Public Health Department,

Parkshot, Richmond.
August, 1964
To the Mayor, Aldermen and Councillors
of The Borough of Richmond (Surrey).
Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen,
I have the honour to present the Annual Report of the Medical
Officer of Health for the year 1963, upon the Sanitary Circumstances,
Sanitary Administration, and Vital Statistics of the Borough.
Bound copies of the Report dating back to 1874 exist in the
Health Department and provide an interesting and valuable record
of work done throughout that period. It is a matter of sincere regret
that this is the last report to be presented to the existing Authority.
I am indebted to Mr. E. S. Herbert, Chief Public Health Inspector,
for his report on the Sanitary Circumstances of the area, and to
Mrs. F. G. Smith for compiling the tables of Vital Statistics.
As usual, I have received complete co-operation from my colleagues
in all other departments and I wish to express my thanks to
the Chairman and Members of the Health Committee for their
support at all times, and to every member of the staff of the Public
Health Department for their loyalty, hard work, and co-operation.
I am, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
ERIC PEREIRA,
Medical Officer of Health.
