S Mary Newington
ANNUAL REPORT
of the
MEDICAL OFFICER OF HEALTH.
I have the honour to submit the health statistics for the year 1894.
The number of deaths registered in the Parish of St. Marry
Newington, during the year of 52 weeks, was 1,799, and the
number of births 4,202.
The population of the parish was estimated at the middle of the
year to be 118,512.
The registered deaths wore 418, and the registered births 143
less than those of last year.
Of the 1,799 deaths, 100 died in the Newington Infirmary Workhouse,
Westmoreland Rod, in this parish. They comprised 58
belonging to Newington and 42 other parishes of the St. Saviour's
Union.
612 persons belonging to Newington died outside the parish, in
the Asylums Board's hospitals, the general hospitals, St. Saviour's
Infirmary, Champion Hill, and various other institutions. When
these have been properly apportioned, the actual or "corrected"
number of persons who died belonging to the sanitary area will be
found to be 2,369.
The death rate when calculated on this corrected number is 19.9
per thousand, as against 24.2 last year. The birth rate, which was
36.9 per thousand last year, has fallen this year to 35.4 per thousand.
