NEVILLE M GOODMAN CB, MA, PHD, MD, FRCP, DPH

GEG writes: Neville Goodman (obituary, 17 May, p 1222) was an unostentatious public servant of Britain and of the world. Had he not been hindered by slight deafness he might have gone on to hold the highest office held by a Briton in WHO. It was characteristic of him that he surrendered that prospect without

complaint and gave his whole energy and skill to the most difficult liaison job in the ministry, and he still found time to promote the re

organisation of services for cancer in a period of rapid change. In 1960 he took over at short notice the wider responsibilities of deputy chief medical officer concerned with the NHS, and he did much behind the scenes to help in the years of expansion that accompanied the

introduction of the hospital building pro gramme. Because he did so much through

helping others, Neville's work received less wide acknowledgment than it deserved, but his election to the fellowship of the Royal College of Physicians under the special rule gave him

particular pleasure.

NH-J writes: With the death of Neville Goodman a chapter of international health work has closed. He was for many years the

last survivor of international health co-opera tion in the interwar years as represented by the Office International d'Hygi?ne Publique and the Health Committee of the League of

Nations. His quiet but friendly and good humoured personality was greatly appreciated by the colleagues of many different nationalities

with whom his work brought him into contact.
