In addition to myself as Director, the staff consists of
1 Sister, 1 Assistant Nurse, and 1 Orderly. The Medical
Officer of Health has very kindly provided the services of a
Health Visitor to visit patients in their homes when advisable.
In conclusion, I should like to express my appreciation of
the friendly co-operation of the various officers, medical and
lay, of the Public Health Department of West Ham, and of
my colleagues in other departments of Queen Mary's Hospital.
My thanks are also due to the Sister and Orderly, who between
them do all the clerical work of this Centre in addition to their
ordinary duties.
