The actual number of notifications received in 1923 was 536,
but of these many refer to the same patient. There were 150
primary notifications, of which 25 were from Poor Law sources,
79 from hospitals and dispensaries, and 46 from private doctors.
In reference to the 25 Poor Law cases there were also received
43 re-notifications and notices of admission and discharge.
This means that many of the Poor Law cases were notified
on an average twice, and is due to the fact that these pauper
cases are restless in institutions, and frequently come out,
especially at holiday time, and later seek re-admission.
Ninety-five gave a Clerkenwell address, 52 lived in St.
Luke's, and 3 in St. Sepulchre.

The cases which may be definitely associated with the
Borough are the first two groups, and amount to 130, that is 86
per cent. of the whole number.
