INTRODUCTION
to the
ANNUAL REPORT of the MEDICAL OFFICER OF HEALTH
Health Department,
Town Hall,
Tottenham.
April, 1928.
To the Chairman and other Members of
the Tottenham Urban District Council.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
During the year 1927 nothing of outstanding importance occurred
worthy of special mention.
The Council has still no Infectious Diseases Hospital and during
the year under review, patients suffering from infectious diseases and
requiring Institutional treatment were admitted to the Metropolitan
Asylums Board Hospitals, the Southgate Isolation Hospital and the
London Fever Hospital.
Notwithstanding the increasing incidence of small pox in the country,
iand its occurrence in neighbouring districts, no case has occurred in
Tottenham.
I have the pleasure to report that the Staff continue to give loyal
and devoted service.
I am. Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
David b kir rhone.
