NOTES ON TABLES 3, 6, AND 7.
It will be observed that the forms required by the Local Government
Board for the record of statistical data differ from those
supplied in former years. Four tables have been substituted
for Tables "A" and "B." The details of Table No. 2
cannot be filled in until after the Census, when the population
of each ward will be taken.
The following notes are from the instructions of the Local Government
Board:—
In Table 6 L.G. B. I should be stated for the whole district under
the superintendence of a Medical Officer of Health the number
and rates of births, and of deaths under one year and at
all ages, and the data on which the nett death-rate is based.
Spaces are given for the insertion of the corresponding figures
for the ten previous years for purposes of comparison.
Table 3 L.G.B. III provides for the number of notified cases of
infectious disease during the year, classified according to ages
of patients and localities, and also the number of cases removed
to hospital from each locality. As regards the classification
according to locality, the same considerations apply
to the records of sickness as to those of deaths.
Table 7 L.G.B. IV. Provides for the deaths during the year from
various causes, classified according to ages and localities. In
populous districts a more extended table in a similar form
containing a more complete classification of causes of deaths
may with advantage be substituted for this form.
