The Infantile Mortality is regarded as a sensitive index of
the Sanitary state of a District, and, judged by this index,
Lambeth Borough takes a good position amongst Sanitary
Districts. Taking the Registrar.General.s old 33 Large Towns
of England and Wales, the uncorrected infantile mortalities
vary from a minimum 111 in Brighton, to a maximum 212 in
Burnley, Lambeth and London being 132 and 130 respectively.
Lambeth ranks eighth lowest in such list, 26 Towns having
higher infantile mortality rates. Taking the uncorrected births
and the corrected deaths, the rate for Lambeth is 121, and of
the 29 Metropolitan Sanitary Districts, 10 have lesser rates
than Lambeth Borough; and of the 10 South Metropolitan
Districts, 3 only have lesser rates, viz.:—Greenwich, Lewisham
and Woolwich with 119, 113 and 110 per 1000 births respectively.
The 2 highest rates amongst the South Metropolitan
Districts are registered in Bermondsey and Southwark, viz., 154
and 147 respectively.
