Deaths in Public Institutions.
The great use made of the facilities for Institutional treatment
is shown by the subjoined table. The larger Institutions
serving the Borough, such as Whipps Cross Hospital and the
Central Home of the late Board of Guardians, and the Borough
Mental Hospital, are situated outside the Borough boundary,
while in addition many West Ham residents are received into the
London Hospitals and Institutions elsewhere. Similarly the
Public Institutions within the Borough (Queen Mary's Hospital
for the East End, St. Mary's Hospital, Plaistow Maternity Hospital,
the Children's Hospital, Balaam Street, Royal Albert DockHospital,
and Forest Gate Hospital), receiving" patients from
the surrounding districts whose deaths are registered in the district,
but have to be excluded from tabulation as transferable from
West Ham.
