To the Chairman and Members of the Public Health Committees of the Borough of Epsom and Ewell, of the Urban Districts of Dorking and of Leatherhead, and of the Dorking and Horley Rural District. Ladies and Gentlemen, I have the honour to submit to you an Annual Report upon the health of each of the above-mentioned districts, which combine for the purpose of the provision of a whole-time Medical Officer of Health.

The total area of the combined districts is 82,843 acres, with a total estimated population at mid-year 1938 of 118,720. Reference to the figures in the Report, some of which are summarised on page 4, indicate that healthy conditions continue to prevail in the various districts.
