    The two Area Committees so far established for administering Part III services of the National Health Service Act are being utilised as a convenient means of providing a local Committee to assist the Education Committee in the day to day administration of the School Health Service for each area. This arrangement has the further advantage of linking the School Health Service with the Child Welfare Service of the locality. The two areas are:— (1) Oldbury Borough.—Divisional Officer: Dr. E. V. Connolly. (2) Kidderminster Borough. Bewdley Borough. Stourport Urban. Kidderminster Rural. Dr. R. W. Markham. Tenbury. ) I am grateful to my deputy. Dr. Pickup who, as stated pre¬ viously, undertakes the day to day administration of this service. I also wish to pay tribute to the medical, nursing, dental and clerical staff who have all given excellent service. With the known difficulties of staffing and premises, which I believe to be national, rather than a local condition, the feeling of frustration can best be met by hard work, hope and the help which you, Mr. Chairman, and the Committee, have invariably given when problems have arisen. Your obedient Servant, County Buildings, Worcester. October, 1949. WYNDHAM PARKER, County and School Medical Officer.
