Report of the Medical Officer of Health. 117

The total number of deaths for 1914, shown in Table LX., viz.,
334, does not agree with the number in the Table of deaths on page
24, viz.:- 305.
The 29 remaining cases did not die from Pulmonary Tuberculosis,
although notified as such.
Four cases of Pulmonary Tuberculosis were notified by the
School Medical Inspectors of the Education Department of the
London County Council, these cases having been discovered in
the examination of children at school
Of the 706 cases visited by the Inspectors, or in which the information
was given by the medical attendant, in 64 this was so
indefinite that it was impossible to tabulate it, in the majority
of cases no family history being known.
15 cases were notified from Common Lodging Houses, three
from Asylums, one from H.M. Prison, three were homeless, in seven
cases wrong addresses were given, seven had removed, in eight the
patients were either lodgers or domestic servants and the occupier
of the house could give no information, in 17 cases no definite
information was obtainable, and in only three instances the Inspector
was refused information.
