    Health Department, 99, The Grove, Stratford, El5 1HR To: The Mayor, Aldermen and Councillors of the London Borough of Newham Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen, It is my pleasure to present a report on the health of the borough for the period 1965-1970. On 1st April, 1965, the London Borough of Newham came into being and the Council can, I am sure, look back with some satisfaction on the successful integration of the services run by the two former County Boroughs and the progress made during the years under review. As you will be aware, during the period covered by this report, the department was administered by my predecessor, Dr. F.R. Dennison who was appointed in January, 1971 as our Director of Social Services. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the staff of the Health Department for their loyalty and sustained effort during what was a very busy and difficult period. I am sure they will join me in my thanks to the Health Committee for their support and encouragement and in particular to the Chairman, Alderman Mrs. M. Scott, whose enthusiasm and understanding for our work was much appreciated. I am, Yours faithfully, N.S. Galbraith Medical Officer of Health & Principal School Medical Officer 3
