    -9- During the year 1971 a new Home for the Elderly (Healey View) accomm- odating 52 persons was completed by the County Council and this additional provision for the many in need of such accoiTirnodntion is most welcome. Mention must also be made of the County Council’s plans for extensions to the School Clinic, in Collison Avonue to provide a Health Centre for a number of General Medical Practitioners in the Borough. It is intended that work on this project will commence in 1972 and bo completed in about approximately a year. Dr. J.K. Brown has been appointed Medical Officer (Departmental) by the County Council to succeed Dr. Doris J. Black. PIr. R. Pleaps who had been Senior Clerk in the Health Department for over forty years retired last year and was elected a local Councillor. His subsequent death this year (1972) is a matter of deep regret. Hy sincere thanks are again due to Mr. Kelly and the staff of the Health Department for their willing assistance and co-operation at all times. I am also, grateful to other officers and staff of the Council for their readiness to help v/henever the need arises. I must also express my gratitude to the Chairman and Members of the Council for their continued support and encouragement. I have the honour to be, Your Obedient Servant, J. V/alker, Medical Officer of Health.
