EXPLANATORY NOTE.

A general upper age limit of seventy years, operative from 1st July, 1960, was prescribed for district medical officers by the Health (Officers Age Limit) Declaration, 1960 ( S.I. No. 1 of 1960 ). This Declaration, insofar as it would have applied to district medical officers, is being revoked by the above Declaration. The new Declaration will, in the case of any office of district medical officer the present holder of which will be aged over sixty-seven on 1st August, 1960, prescribe a new age limit of seventy-two years. The limits for offices, the present holders of which will, on 1st August, 1960, be within approximately two years of reaching the age of sixty-seven, are also changed, so that such an officer will not have to retire significantly earlier than a person aged sixty-seven on 1st August, 1960. For all other offices of district medical officer, the age-limit of seventy years is being re-imposed, but, in accordance with section 23 (2) of the Local Government Act, 1941 , it will have effect only from 1st January, 1961.
