NOTIFICATIONS OF INFECTIOUS DISEASE.
The year has been characterised by an exceptionally low
incidence of notifiable infectious diseases.
The rate from all the notifiable diseases together, 5.9 per
1,000, is the lowest recorded, as will be seen from the table No. 20.
The percentage of roads infected is lower than was the case
either last year or the year before. And this is uniformly the
case in each of the wards. - See table No. 21.
There is, however, a slight increase in the number of cases
per infected road in Church End, Harlesden, Mid Kilburn and
Willesden Green. In Church End, Harlesden and Mid Kilburn,
also, there is a slight increase in the notification rate, but in the
other wards a reduction in each of these respects.
