Report of the Medical Officer of Health.
The total deaths in external institutions were 543, and of
these 279 occurred in the Union Infirmary, 249 in General and
Special Hospitals, and 15 in the Hospitals of the Metropolitan
Asylums Board outside the Borough.
The four Tables which follow are inserted by order of the
Local Government Board.
Table I. differs in some respects from the similar Table in
the Report for the year 1900.
The population has been corrected 111 the intercensal periods,
and consequently the death-rates do not agree with the rates in
last year's Report. The estimated population in 1900 was 220,852,
whereas the estimated population calculated from the enumerated
population was 224,325, consequently the death-rate was only
14.41 per 1,000.
Table II. shows the population, the number of births and
deaths registered, and the number of deaths under one year of
age, for the whole Borough, as well as for the various subdistricts.
It also shows these for each year since 1890, and is to
a large extent a complete history of the mortality of the Borough
for the last 10 years.
Table III. shows the number of cases of infectious disease
notified during the year at all ages and at certain groups of
ages in the Borough and in the several sub-districts, and also
shows the number of cases removed from each sub-district to
Hospital.
Table IV. is the general mortality Table for the whole
Borough, showing the number of deaths at all ages, and at
certain groups of ages, arranged as to cause of death. This
Table is in many respects more complete than the one in the
Report for 1900. This also shows the total number of deaths
in each sub-district, and the number of deaths in public institutions
in the district.
