    HOLLAND COUNTY COUNCIL, LINCOLNSHIRE. Annual ON THE County Health Services PART 2. Report of the Medical Officer of Health by W. G. BOOTH, M.D., D.P.H. • 1943. Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen, The main part of this abridged report is taken over by Dr. Fielding’s report on Tuberculosis. This has been asked for by the Ministry of Health, and it sets out in an admirable manner the position in this County with great clarity. The lack of sanatorium accommodation throughout England is a very great handicap to the fighting of this disease. Until some real effort is made to attract nurses into this specialised service, there seems no possibility of an improvement. Development in the Council’s Hospital services have continued, and details will be found in the report. Many of these should cer- tainly be continued after the war and until the proposed National Health Service comes into operation. The immunisation of children aged i year to 5 years in their homes by health visitors has now become an accepted part of our practice in this county. It is entirely successful. I beg to remain, Your obedient Servant, W. G. BOOTH.
