The River Lea has been the cause of some complaint owing to sewage
pollution.
The entire cost of the Public Health service in the Borough, including
all staff, and the maintenance of the Tuberculosis Dispensaries,
the Welfare Centres, Disinfecting Station, Isolation Shelters and
Mortuary, and all forms of assistance under the Tuberculosis and
Maternity and Child Welfare schemes is estimated during the coming
financial year to amount to a rate of fivepence. This includes the expenditure
required by the expansion of the Maternity and Child
Welfare service. The money which would be formerly given by the
Ministry of Health to the Health services in the form of special grants
is now included in the block grant.
In conclusion, I have to thank the Public Health and Child
Welfare Committees for their support and kind consideration, and I
also express my appreciation of the manner in which my staff have
performed their duties.
I am,
Yours obediently,
G. H. DART,
Medical Officer of Health
