The Chief Dental Officer, Mr. M. T. Gibb, whose services were
retained for a further six months beyond his normal retiring age,
retired in October and was succeeded by Mr. E. T. Thompson of our
own staff.
I am grateful for the help and co-operation received from the
Chief Education Officer and his staff, from Head Teachers and from
the many School Secretaries in the Borough. My thanks are also given
to the medical, dental, nursing and other staff of the Department for
the satisfactory and efficient manner in which their respective duties
were carried out during the year.
I should especially like to thank my Deputy, Dr. E. H. Todd,
Mr. W. Atkinson, my Chief Administrative Officer, and Mr. E. A.
Ayling, the Administrative Assistant of the School Health Service
Section, for their contributions in connection with the preparation of
this Report.
I am grateful for the continued support and encouragement so
kindly extended to me at all times by the Chairman and Members of
the Education Committee and the Schools and Special Services SubCommitttee.
I am, Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
P. J. DOODY,
Principal School Medical Officer.
