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 6.79 pence.
No allowance is made in this figure for the Ministry's contribution
in the General Exchequer Grant for Maternity and Child Welfare
and Tuberculosis Dispensary services.
In conclusion, I have to thank the Public Health and Maternity
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.
