INFLUENZA EPIDEMIC
The information built up at the local office of the Ministry of
Pensions is not available for local analysis but is submitted to Regional
Headquarters where a percentage survey is made on sickness rates.
This is an unfortunate arrangement as the local sanitary authority
are thereby deprived of useful morbidity statistics related to the
working population of their own area.
