The activities of the Department bring the staff into daily contact with
medical practitioners and with the many organisations, voluntary as well as
statutory, working in various fields of health and social service. Our
relationships with all these good people are most cordial and I am glad to
tender to them our best thanks for their co-operation.
I received all possible help from the Chief Officers and members of the
staffs of other departments of the Council, and I would assure them that that
help is greatly appreciated.
A good deal of re-organisation took place within the department; the
staff worked hard and I am most grateful for their loyal support. A special
word of thanks is due to Dr. D. Bielenky. the part-time Deputy Medical Officer
of Health, who rendered valuable assistance on a number of occasions throughout
the year.
I am, Mr. Mayor, ladies and gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
JOHN FENTON
Medical Officer of Health.
