That 1968 passed with services well maintained, even improved, in spite of severe
restrictions in spending could only have been achieved by the loyal and conscientious
efforts of a staff that was often overworked. My colleagues in other departments have,
as ever, been co-operative and helpful. My thanks must also go to the Councillors and
Chairmen with whom I am associated who, whilst laying down our policies, have borne
with our difficulties and understood our problems.
Finally, as usual, many thanks to the great army of volunteers who have helped us
in our efforts, often blazed a new trail, provided a link with the community, and saved
the ratepayers some money.
I have the honour to be,
Your obedient servant,
I. GORDON,
Medical Officer of Health.
