![35 Appendix 1. COUNTY COUNCIL OF MIDDLESEX. (Area No. 2] (Friern Barnet, Potters Bar. Southgate. Wood Green) REPORT OF AREA. MEDICAL OFFICER OF HEALTH FOR THE YEAR 1953. 1. INTRODUCTORY. The purpose of this report is to present to the Committee an over-all picture of the work carried out in the Area during 1953. It will be appreciated that the report is, of necessity, brief, and that it has only been possible to touch on the more important aspects and statistics relating to each section of the Area work. It will also be appreciated that, to include the work of the School Health Service, would call for a separate document. For this reason mainly, the matter of the School Health Service has been for the moment deferred, although I hope to be able to present a statement to the Committee at a later date. It would be true to state that the work carried out by the Area Health Staff in Area No. 2 last year was relative ly uneventful. Opportunity has been taken to improve and extend our services wherever possible, and to introduce newer and more up-to-date methods. Minor changes in administra tion have also taken place; the more important of these will be referred to in the body of the report. Altogether, the picture can, I think, be justly claimed to be one of steady progress. 2. AREA STATISTICS.
