In other sections of the report, comment is made inter
alia on the high proportion of their energies which the
Sanitary Inspectors were having to devote to the correction
of sanitary defects in houses—largely a legacy of the war;
and a full account is given of the increase of work which
has fallen to the School Health Service with the returning
school population.
A reversion has been made to the pre-war practice of
combining the reports on all the health services into a single
volume, in recognition of the close relations which should
prevail between them. The School Health Report, therefore,
appears as a section, albeit the largest and most detailed, of
the main report.
In conclusion, I wish to express my deep appreciation
of the loyal and devoted services of all members of the staff
throughout a year which was not without its difficulties;
and to thank the Chairmen and Members of Committees
for their kindly consideration during these early months of
my office.
I am,.
Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
F. ROY DENNISON,
Medical Officer of Health.
Municipal Health Offices,
223/5, Romford Road,
West Ham, E.7.
