Dr. I. M. Anderson, the Consultant Paediatrician to the Maternity
Hospital, also attended a fortnightly Clinic at these offices until 4th June,
1948. He was succeeded by Dr. C. B. M. Warren as from 16th June, 1948.
Infant Mortality.—The number of infants dying within the first year
of life was 62, the total number born being 2,848. The latter figure is
supplied by the Registrar-General for calculating infant and maternal
mortality rates. The infant mortality, or rate of deaths per 1,000 live
births, was, therefore 21'7, the lowest figure ever recorded in Ilford.
Neonatal Mortality.—The death-rate of infants under four weeks of
age is known as the Neonatal Mortality. There were 37 deaths of infants
under four weeks of age during 1948 and the rate for the year was 12 9 per
1,000 live births.
