Conclusion
Surely all this suggests the need for great caution, for the study of the
whole complicated problem with due regard to the relationship of one function
with another, without undue preponderance of the views of any one profession.
No single professional interest should be allowed to "jump the gun".
Once again, may I thank the members of the Council, especially the Chairmen
of the committees with which I am associated, for their help and encouragement.
Alto, I would likewise thank my fellow chief officers and their staffs for a year
of first-class co-operation. Any success that the health and welfare department
has had during the past year is almost entirely due to the unstinting effort of the
staff for which I am responsible, and for whose loyalty, skill and hard work the
Council, public of Redbridge and I, are most grateful.
Finally, I would once more draw attention to the large and enthusiastic
body of voluntary workers in the town, without whose help our task would be so
much more onerous, and, of course, expensive.
I have the honour to be
Your obedient servant,
I. GORDON,
Medical Officer of Health.
