I have the honour to refer to the Duke of
Devonshire's despatch No.7 of the 15th January, 1923, in
which His Grace approved the posting of a second Cadet Officer to the Sanitary Department as Assistant Head of the Sanitary Department and Secretary to the Sanitary Board, and
the appointment of Mr. Davies as First Clerk and Assistant
Secretary to the Board.
2.
The work of the Department continues to increase and the Head of the Sanitary Department is of
opinion that the Cadet Assistant should be relieved of the
duties of Secretary to the Board, so that he may devote his
whole time to administrative work. He therefore recommends
that the posts of Assistant Head of the Sanitary Department
and Secretary to Sanitary Board should be separated, the
former to continue as a junior Cadet post, the latter to
become, as it was prior to 1923, a non-Cadet post. I concur
in these recommendations in view of the growing importance
of the work of the Sanitary Department and submit them for your approval. I may say however that, when I can find time, I propose to make a thorough examination into the working of the sanitary and medical departments with a view to their
reorganization
