    Public Health Department, Town Hall, BUXTON„ To the Mayor, Aldermen and Burgesses of the Borough of Buxton. Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen, I have pleasure in presenting my ninth Annual Report for your con- sideration. The introduction of new legislation has continued to provide additional duties but with the able assistance of the staff of the Department, the work has been tackled to the best of our ability. The Members of the Public Health Committee and the Council have during the year been kept fttLly informed of the work undertaken by the staff and employees of the Department through the medium of the Minutes of the Public Health Committee. It is not my intention, therefore, to repeat at length in this Report details of which the Council are already aware. The compilation of the statistics are a useful indication of the work undertaken and act as a guide to our future activities. Whilst this report was being prepared, Mr. Aucott, who was appointed Technical Assistant for a temporary period of two years, was trans- ferred to the Borough Surveyorfs Department. His work in connection with the Offices, Shops and Railway Premises Act, 1963, has provided a good foundation upon which future inspections may be carried out. The office records are an indication of the conscientious manner in which he performed his task. We shall also be sorry to lose the services of Miss G. Lomas, who has been a Clerk/Shorthand Typist in the Department for a period of seven and a half years. We wish her every success in her new appointment with Chapel-en-le-Frith Rural District Council. I should once again wish to pay tribute to the Chairman and Members of the Public Health Committee, the Medical Officer of Health and the Officials and Staff of other Departments for their kind and considerate co-operation throughout the year. Finally, I am indebted to the staff and employees of the Public Health Department for their continued loyalty and support. I am, Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen, Your obedient Servant, RICHARD CRUDDAS Chief Public Health Inspector.
