REPORT OF THE MEDICAL OFFICER OF HEALTH FOR 1963
TABLE II
| Corrected Deaths | Death Rate | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Males | Females | Total | ||
| Putney | 565 | 587 | 1,152 | 10.8 |
| Central | 890 | 1,083 | 1,973 | 21.7 |
| Clapham | 531 | 636 | 1,167 | 14.5 |
| Streatham | 436 | 494 | 930 | 12.9 |
| Whole Borough | 2,422 | 2,800 | 5,222 | 14.9 |
Table III is the general mortality table for the whole Borough
and shows the number of deaths from each cause divided into sexes,
age groups and sub-districts.
The larger number of deaths shown in the Central Division as
compared with the other Parliamentary Divisions is due mainly to
the fact that in that area are located a number of hospitals for the
mentally disordered. Such hospitals are classified by the RegistrarGeneral
for the purpose of deaths statistics as non-transferable and
consequently, deaths occurring in these Institutions are allocated to
this area.
