Health Department,

Stratford, El5 1HR
To: The Mayor, Aldermen and Councillors
of the London Borough of Newham
Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen,
It is my pleasure to present a report on the health of the borough for the
period 1965-1970. On 1st April, 1965, the London Borough of Newham came into
being and the Council can, I am sure, look back with some satisfaction on the
successful integration of the services run by the two former County Boroughs and the
progress made during the years under review.
As you will be aware, during the period covered by this report, the
department was administered by my predecessor, Dr. F.R. Dennison who was appointed
in January, 1971 as our Director of Social Services.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the staff of the Health
Department for their loyalty and sustained effort during what was a very busy and
difficult period. I am sure they will join me in my thanks to the Health Committee
for their support and encouragement and in particular to the Chairman, Alderman
Mrs. M. Scott, whose enthusiasm and understanding for our work was much appreciated.
I am,
Yours faithfully,
N.S. Galbraith
Medical Officer of Health &
Principal School Medical Officer
