No serious epidemic of infectious disease has occurred during
the year, although there has been a further increase in the number
of notifications of scarlet fever. Diphtheria immunisation has
been made available to all children when reaching one year of
age, and two additional immunisation clinics have been opened
during 1943.
In conclusion, I should like to thank the staff for their loyal
and able service, and express my gratitude to the chairmen and
members of the Public Health and Maternity and Child Welfare
Committees for their courtesy and assistance.
I am, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Yours obediently,
A. ASHWORTH,
Medical Officer oj Health.
Public Health Department,
Mitcham Court,
Mitcham.
