To:-
THE RIGHT HONOURABLE THE LORD MAYOR, ALDERMEN AND COMMONERS
OF THE CORPORATION OF LONDON.
My Lord Mayor, Lady and Gentlemen,
I have the honour, as Medical Officer of Health for the Port of London, to submit my Annual
Report for the year ending 31st December 1969.
This report has, as usual, been prepared in accordance with the directive given by the
Secretary of the Ministry of Health in November 1963.
I wish to express my appreciation of the invaluable assistance which has been given by the
numerous individuals and organisations whose work is so closely allied with ours in the Port.
The co-operation which is displayed is of the utmost importance in carrying out the multitude of
operations in which we are involved.
I also wish to record my gratitude to the Chairman and Members of the Port and City of
London Health Committee, and to the staff of the Department. During the year I had the honour
to deliver the 3rd Monckton Copeman Memorial Lecture on Medicine on the River Thames at the
Society of Apothecaries Hall. I have appended a copy to this Report, as the topic may be of
interest.
I have the honour to be, Lady and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
W.G. SWANN, M.D., B.Sc.,
Medical Officer of Health,
Port and City of London.
