The wards with the highest average infant mortality over a
seven year period are: Upper Norwood, Thornton Heath, and
Whitehorse Manor; the lowest averages are recorded in Norbury,
East and Central.
Any infant death occurring in an institution has been allocated
to the Ward in which the infant lived prior to admission.
Midwives Acts, 1902 and 1918.
93 midwives notified the Local Supervising Authority of their
intention to practise within the Borough during 1933; 17 ceased
practising in the Borough, so that 76 remained on the Register
at the end of the year. Of these 72 were trained and held the
certificate of the Central Midwives Board, and 1 was a bona-fide
midwife, i.e., she was in practice as a midwife at the time of the
passing of the Midwives Act, 1902, while 3 held the certificate
of the London Obstetrical Society.
