Borough of Malden and Coombe
ANNUAL REPORT
of
THE MEDICAL OFFICER OF HEALTH
1939
Public Health Department,
Municipal Offices,
New Malden.
October, 1940.
To the Mayor, Aldermen and Councillors of the
Borough of Malden and Coombe.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I have the honour to present to you my Annual Report
on the health and sanitary conditions of the Borough of
Malden and Coombe for the year ended 31st December,
1939. It has been prepared in accordance with the Ministry
of Health Circular 2067, in which it is advised that many
items which usually appear may be omitted entirely, and
that those which are retained should be dealt with as briefly
as possible. Although the activities of the Public Health
Department have been encroached upon and over-shadowed
by Civil Defence, every matter affecting the health of the
district has received the same attention it would have had
in normal times. I should like to record my appreciation
of the hard work and long hours put in by the whole of
the staff in achieving this aim.
I am,
Mr. Mayor, Aldermen and Councillors,
Your obedient Servant,
JAMES FANNING,
Medical Officer of Health.
