Diphtheria, Whooping cough. Tetanus and Smallpox is part of the Health Service and regular sessions are held at the Child Welfare Centre Queen’s Avenue. The response to immunisation is good.

District Nursing and Child Welfare Service are all administered by the Lancashire County Council through Division 8. I take this opportunity of thanking the staff of the department and my colleagues for their help and support in the daily work. The interest and encouragement of the Members of the Urban District Coun- cil is also much appreciated. Your obedient servant, G. A. FULTON, Medical Officer of Health 8
