VENEREAL DISEASES
The disquieting rise in the incidence of Venereal
Disease continues locally and nationally, and indeed in
most countries in which records are kept a similar trend
has been reported.
The Public Health Department receives information on
the numbers of first attenders at two Venereal Disease
Clinics which serve the Borough, but these figures are
necessarily incomplete and take no account of patients
treated privately and in other hospitals. The pattern of
figures obtained follows that noticed in previous years,
i.e. the number of persons born outside Britain attending
the Clinics is higher than the number of indigenous first
attenders. In 1962 - 64.7% new cases. In 1963 - 62.5%.
