![PREFACE 111 accordance with the suggestion contained in Circular ‘2067 (]7ngiand), dated 10th July, 1040, issued by the Ministry of Health, luy Annual lleport for 1080 has been considerably curtailed, and is in the nature of an interim report. The duties in connection with the Civil ])efence iMedical Service have occui)ied a great i)ro})ortion of the time of the staff of the depart- ment. Upon the declaration of war, several members of the staff were seconded to this branch with the result that tlie general sectional work of the department was greatly restricted. Again, evacuation of mothers, children, blind j^ersons, etc., entailed a large amount of the time of the staff. I should like to ex})ress my a])]ireciation of the unfailing loyalty and industry of members of my staff in the arduous times which were experienced in the latter part of the year.
