2. CO-ORDINATION.
In my report for the year 1922 I expressed the opinion that
great benefit would accrue from the development of closer coordination
in administration of the various sections, under the
Local Authority, whose primary functions are directed towards
maintaining a high standard of Public Health. On many occasions
I have pointed out that, owing to the lack of sufficient
clerical staff, the highly important administrative side of the
services has suffered considerably, and members of the Professional
Staff have of necessity been called upon to perform clerical
duties to the detriment of those specialised duties, for which they
are qualified and which they were appointed to perform. The
setting up of a Special Committee, for the purpose of determining
the possibility of co-ordinating the Medical Services of the
Borough, afforded an excellent opportunity of putting forward
the following scheme as a basis from which complete co-ordination
could be evolved.
