    INTRODUCTION To the Members of the County Council of the North Riding of Yorkshire. Mr. Chairman, My Lords, Ladies and Gentlemen, I have pleasure in submitting my Annual Reports as County Medical Officer of Health and as Principal School Medical Officer for the year 1968. For the first time the two Reports are combined in one volume. The document therefore gives a more complete and coherent picture of the work of the County Health Department, so many functions of which cannot properly be ascribed exclusively to i one service or the other. Many of the figures in the text cannot usefully be compared with those of 1967 and previous years because of boundary changes made during the year under review. - Nevertheless, the Reports show that the state of health in the Riding is encouraging and that services have expanded within the limits imposed by finance. I should like to thank the Chairmen and Members of the Health, Social Services i and Education Committees and of the County Council for their continued support and ) co-operation. I wish also to thank my colleagues in other departments and the staff t of this department in County Hall and all over the Riding for their assistance. I remain, Mr. Chairman, My Lords, Ladies and Gentlemen, Your obedient Servant, J. T. A. GEORGE, County Medical Officer, and Principal School Medical Officer.
