[Report of the Medical Officer of Health for Kingsbury]

This page requires JavaScript

Notifiable diseases show an increase of Scarlet Fever
cases, namely 64, as against 37 in 1932, but Diphtheria
shows a decrease, namely II, as against 20 in 1932.
Owing to the amalgamation of Kingsbury to Wembley
this will be my last report and I desire to record my appreciation
of the help rendered me by Mr. Newport, your
Sanitary Inspector, over a period of many years and the
helpful co-operation I have received from all other Members
of the Staff.
I have the honour to remain,
Yours faithfully,
F. W. ANDREW, M.R.C.S., L.R.C.P.,
Medical Officer of Health.
