Urban District Council MEDICAL OFFICER’S REPORT Council Offices, Thornton Cleveleys. To the Chairman and Members of the Thornton Cleveleys Urban District Council Lady and Gentlemen, My report on the health of the district for 1955 is again very satisfactory. The incidence of infectious disease remains light and such cases as did occur were not severe. No cases of food poisoning were notified during the year. This reflects credit on the work of the Chief Sanitary Inspector in the campaign to raise the standard of cleanliness and care in the handling of food. I wish to record my appreciation of the excellent work of the Chief Sanitary Inspector, Mr. A. E. Barnes, and all the staff of the Health Department throughout the year. I have the honour to be, Lady and Gentlemen, Your obedient Servant, A. H. PENISTAN.
