ment of the physically defective child, have worked to full capacity
during the year. The much improved accommodation provided at the
Municipal Medical Centre, Lordship Lane, officially opened by His
Worship the Mayor on October 30th, 1937, has further enhanced the
Service. Following a special report made by me in June, 1937, a
Nutrition Clinic was established by the Education Committee during the
latter part of the year. This clinic is closely associated with the scheme
for the provision of meals and milk in school, and is evidence that more
than lip.service is given to the problem of malnutrition in this area.
In conclusion, I wish to acknowledge the support and encouragement
accorded to me by the members of the Council, and the interest shown
by the Chairmen and Members of the Committees concerned with the
work of the Health Services. To the loyal and efficient staff of the Health
Services I am particularly indebted during my first year of office.
I have the honour to be
Your obedient Servant,
G. Hamilton Hogbein,
Medical Officer of Health.
