![Heaeth Office, A 26, Afbion Peace, Ramsgate. May, 1921. To His Worship the Mayor, and to the Aldermen and Councillors of the Borough of Ramsgate. Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Genteemen, I beg to present my Annual Report for the year 1920 on the Health and Sanitation of the Borough and on the School Medical Service. The report has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Ministry of Health and Board of Education. A glance at the table of comparative statistics will show that the Vital Statistics for the Borough compare favourably with those for the country as a whole. The birth rate for the year, 28 per 1,000, is a very marked increase over the rate 17 per 1,000 for 1919 ; the number of births registered, 824, being greater than in any previous year. It is satisfactory to be able to record a low incidence of infectious diseases and reduced infantile mortality. I would take the opportunity to acknowledge the loyal co-operation of all members of the staff of the department, and would express my gratitude to the Chairmen of Committees and Members of the Council for their kindness and courtesy to me during the year. I am, Ladies and Gentlemen, Your Obedient Servant, W. ]. BANNISTER, Medical Officer of Health and School Medical Officer,](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b30028863_0005.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
