During the year I had the pleasure of attending the Conference of
the Royal Sanitary Institute at Sheffield and also the Guildhall Conference
on Smoke Abatement.
I have also, during the period of this report, medically examined
327 persons with a view to employment as permanent or temporary
members of the Council's staff and 40 employees were examined and
reported on as a result of accident or illness. 134 specimens were taken
from the throats of children prior to their admission to Convalescent
Homes and submitted by me to the Borough Analyst for examination.
In conclusion, I must thank my Chairmen and the Committees for
their support, and also the ladies who have rendered such valuable help
as Voluntary Workers at the Welfare Centres and on the Milk Committee.
The whole staff has worked loyally and well, and carried out their
respective duties in a most satisfactory manner.
Yours faithfully,
HORACE WILSON,
Medical Officer of Health.
