ANNUAL REPORT
OF
THE CHIEF PUBLIC HEALTH INSPECTOR
Mr. A. Makin, M.R.S.H... F.A.P.H.L
It is impossible to comment in detail on more than a few of the matters dealt with but it will
be seen that the inspectorate cover a wide range of environmental problems.
Staff shortages both on the professional and administrative side have given rise to many
difficulties but the staff have been most co-operative in an endeavour to maintain a satisfactory
environment. It is hoped that it will not again be necessary to report staff problems as the Career
Development Scheme and the Student Training Programme should be proving effective.
In various parts of the report reference is made to work carried out by other departments
and agencies, particularly the Public Health Laboratory Service and the Scientific Department
of the Greater London Council, and their help is greatly appreciated.
