It is the first year since 1929 that the efforts, which the Public
Health Authority have so constantly directed to the solution of the
problem of death in child-birth, have borne such satisfactory results,
and all in the district associated with the care of maternity are to be
congratulated.
The records of the attendances at the Council's clinics up to
September showed a steady upward tendency and reflected an evergrowing
appreciation by the public of this section of the Council's
work.
I wish to place on record my appreciation of the loyal service
and valuable assistance I have received from all the members of my
staff throughout the year.
I have the honour to be,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
PATRICK J. O'CONNELL,
Medical Officer of Health.
November, 1940.
