Isolation Shelter. During the year this Shelter has only
been occupied by three families, a total of 8 adults and 2 children,
whilst their own premises were being disinfected.
Throughout the whole of the Metropolis there was a total of
27,691 cases of Infectious Disease notified, giving an attack rate
of 6.0 per 1,000 persons living. This attack rate varied throughout
the whole of London from 3.8 in Stoke Newington, 3.9 in
Hampstead, 4.3 in Kensington and the City of Westminster, 5.0
in Greenwich, 5.1 in Paddington, Islington, City of London, and
Lambeth, up to 7.0 in Wandsworth, 7.1 in Bethnal Green, 8.0 in
Hackney, and 10.1 in Deptford, from which it will be seen that
amongst the various Boroughs we have the fifth place. In this
comparison the figures relating to the notification of Chicken-pox
are not taken into account.
Consumption. During the year there were 51 cases of
Consumption notified voluntarily by Medical men practising
within the Borough, 19 being in East Greenwich, 9 in West
Greenwich, 16 in St. Nicholas, and 7 in Charlton. Of these
patients, 16 were under treatment in an Institution, which in most
cases was the Union Infirmary. The ages of the patients were 2
between 1 and 5 years, 4 between 5 and 15 years, 8 between 15
