report that due to the conscientious and efficient manner in which
all members of the staff have performed their duties, the work of the
Department has run smoothly. The Public Health Department
has been particularly fortunate in the choice of Mr. Potter as
Administrative Assistant.
Dr. D. Bielenky, Deputy Medical Officer of Health, again
rendered valuable services and I cannot speak too highly of his help
during the year in many directions, particularly in undertaking
enquiries into cases of infectious disease and food poisoning and
visiting aged people not receiving proper care and attention.
Again, I have pleasure in recording my thanks to the Chairman
and each member of the Public Health Committee for the consideration
and ever ready assistance which they afforded to the Department
during the year. In these days of difficulty and complication,
it is particularly gratifying that such harmonious relationship
should exist between the Committee and the Department in their
joint efforts in the public service.
G. H. DART,
Medical Officer of Health.
