of the London County Council and the staff of his department at Drysdale
Street continued to be most helpful and cordial. The various voluntary
organisations in the borough cover a wide range of health and welfare
activities and I am most grateful to them for their readiness at all
times to co-operate to the full with the activities of this department.
Our best thanks are also due to the Chief Officers and members of the
staffs of other departments of the Council for their continued and helpful
co-operation. The staff of the Public Health Department again
carried out their varied and onerous duties most efficiently and loyally,
and I am very happy to have this opportunity of recording my appreciation
of their services.
In conclusion, it is a great pleasure to take advantage of this
occasion to express to the Chairman and Members of the Public Health
Committee and to the Members of the Council individually and collectively,
my deep gratitude for their continued support, and for the help
and encouragement which they gave to me personally and to the department
during the year.
I am, Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
JOHN PENTON.
Medical Officer of Health.
