Medical Officers of Health Annual Report.
The total deaths in institutions was 521, compared
with 562 in 1899, and 489 in 1898, of these 254 occured
in the Union Infirmary, 209 in general and special
hospitals, including street and railway accidents and
drowning cases, and 58 in the hospitals of the Metropolitan
Asylums Board. Of these 58, 52 occurred from
Zymotic diseases, while six occurred from non-Zymotics.
The four Tables which follow are the new Tables
required by the Local Government Board.
Tables I. II. and IV. are Mortality Tables, while
Table III. shows the cases of Infectious Disease notified
during the year in the whole district at all ages, and at
certain groups of ages; it also shows the total number of
cases notified in each locality, and the number of cases
removed to the hospitals of the Metropolitan Asylums
Board.
All these Tables are corrected for internal and
internal institutions.
In Table I. of the Local Government Board Tables,
the birth-rate and the nett death rate do not correspond
in the decimal places with the corrected birth and deathrate
given above, but this is owing to the fact that in Table
I. the rate is calculated from the total population in the
Borough wthout deducting the population of the internal
institutions.
