I have also, during the period of this report, medically examined
341 persons with a view to employment as permanent or temporary
members of the Council's staff and 60 employees were examined and
reported on as a result of accident or illness. 162 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.
