    ‘2 BRENTWOOD URBAN DISTRICT COUNCIL. Annual Report of the Medical Officer of Health for the year 1942. ]\rr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen, I beg to present my Annual Eeport for the year 1942, which again follows the restricted lines of previous years. Despite the continuing difficulties and hazards of War, the health of the district has been maintained at a satisfactory level. The incidence of notifiable disease has been remarkably low. During the year under review the Department lost the services of Mr. E. Badcnck, Additional Sanitaiy Inspector, who obtained an appointment under another Authority after 6J- years of excellent service in Brentwood. On the clerical side, Miss P. E. B. Wenden, who had ably held the post of Chief Clerk since the outbreak of War, left the service of the Council on tiansfer as a Mobile V.A.D. Officer. To the Senior Sanitary Inspector (who as usual has helped with the compilation of this Beport) I am indebted for another year of painstaking work. 1 have also to record with j)leasure that Brentwood was twice visited in an official capacity by the Minister of Health (Mr. Ernest Brown, .M.P.), when he performed ceremonies at the London Hosj)ital .Annexe and at “Cliildhaventhereby giving an unique (Opportunity for personal contact with local Officials. I am, Your obedient Servant, B. EBASEK BEATSON, Medical Officer of Health.
