Briefly, this increase in notifications for 1911 and 1912 was
mainly due to the fact that Chicken Pox was made notifiable
for a part of 1911, and also to an increase in the number of
Tuberculosis notifications due to the Public Health (Tuberculosis
in Hospitals) Regulations, 1911.

The amount paid to Medical Practitioners for notification
during the period under report was :—

Asylums Board.
Discovery and Diagnosis of Infectious Diseases.
It is well to know that unrecognised cases largely spread
infectious diseases.
