![To His Worship the Mayor, and to the Aldermen and Councillors of the Borough of Eastbourne. Gentlemen, In accordance with the Local Government Board Order as to the duties of the Medical Officer of Health, I have the honour of submitting herewith my Seventeenth Annual Report on the Health of Eastbourne, its Vital Statistics, and the work of the Sanitary Department during the year 1910. I have also, in accordance with Section 132 of the Factory and Workshops Act, 1901, to submit a special report on the work done under the Factory and Workshops Acts. This is incorporated with the following Report under the division of Sanitary Work. The Register of Workshops, which has to be kept by the Authority, is duly kept in my Department. In accordance with instructions, copies of this Report have been sent to the Home Office, to the Local Government Board, and to the County Council. A memorandum of the Local Government Board sets forth what the Medical Officer of Health has to report upon, and I have followed the instructions of the Board. The Report is on the lines of previous Reports, so that comparison and reference may be easy. What repetition there is of matters previously detailed is necessary so that each year’s Report shall be complete in itself. My instructions are that “ it should be remembered that these Reports are for the information of the [Local Govern- ment] Board .... as well as of the Council of the district, and that a statement of the local circumstances and a history of local sanitary questions which may seem superfluous for the latter may often be needed by the former bodies.”](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b29187382_0005.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
