Town Hall,
Fulham, S.W.G.
August, 1933.
To the Mayor, Aldermen and Councillors
of the Metropolitan Borough of Fulham.
Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen,
I have the honour to submit the Annual Report on
the Vital Statistics and the sanitary condition of the
borough for the year 1932.
Staff Changes. Upon the resignation of Dr. Hardy
which took effect at the end of 1931, the Council decided
to apoint a full-time Assistant Medical Officer
to perform the duties carried out by Dr. C. Ross (the
part-time Medical Officer) and the Maternity and Child
Welfare duties carried out by Dr. Hardy; as stated in my
report for 1931 the Council decided that it was unnecessary
to appoint a successor so far as Dr. Hardy 's tuberculosis
duties were concerned. Dr. Anna R. Park was
appointed to the position and commenced her duties on
1st March, Dr. Ross performing the duties until that
date with the aid of locum tenens.
The Department lost through retirement, the services
of two experienced officers in Inspector F. H
Manning and Senior Inspector C. B. Jones. These
officers had rendered conspicuous service to the late.
Vestry and Borough Council for 37½ and 42 years respectively.
Mr. F. C. P ayne, who was appointed temporary
housing inspector for special surveys under the Housing
Act, 1930, for a period of six months ending 24th February,
1932, was re-appointed for another month to finish
the surveys and was then taken on to the permanent
staff as Housing Inspector in place of Mr. Hutchinson;
the latter became District Inspector on the retirement of
Mr. Manning.
