Telephone: Public Health Department,
Feltham 2281 and 3281 Council Offices,
Feltham.
August, 1959.
To: The Chairman and Members of the Feltham Urban District
Council.
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen,
I beg to present the Annual Report on the Health and
Sanitation of your District for the year 1958.
In this, my first report, I am pleased to say that the
health of the district remains good and the vital statistics
compare favourably with those of the country as a whole.
This is actually a report on the health of your district
and a record of the work carried out in your Health Department
during the last year in office of Dr. F. H. Woods, who
retired from your service in March, 1959. He was in office as
Medical Officer of Health for the past 35 years and I am sure
you will agree, is to be congratulated on a job well done. I
sincerely hope that he will now enjoy a long and happy retirement.
I trust that as your new Medical Officer of Health, I shall
be able to carry on Dr. Woods' good work and I shall certainly
do my best to maintain the high standard set by him. I am
certain that the help and co-operation which I already have
experienced of Mr. Bell, the Chief Public Health Inspector,
and his staff will be of the greatest value to me in my task.
I would also like to place on record my appreciation of
the warm welcome I received from the Chairman and
Members of the Public Health Committee on my appointment
and acknowledge with thanks the friendly co-operation and
help of my colleagues in the other departments of the Council.
I am, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
W. CORMACK,
Medical Officer of Health.
