Illegitimate Births (208).— The illegitimate births numbered 208 and
show ail increase of 12 on the return of the year 1925. They were equal to a rate
of 3.2 per 100 registered births.
Notification of Births Act, 1907.—4,891 births were notified, exclusive
of 134 stillborn, or 76 per cent, of the total number that was registered during
the year.
As years go on the general public would appear to be forgetful regarding
their obligations under this Act, an advertisement and notices which were sent
out at its initiation being forgotten. Increased efforts will require to be made to
keep the primary requirement of the Act before the public, which is " Within
THIRTY-SIX HOURS after the birth, it shall be the duty of the FATHER of
the child, if he is actually residing in the house where the birth takes place at the
time of its occurrence, and of ANY PERSON IN ATTENDANCE upon the
mother at the time of, or within six hours after, the birth, to give notice in
writing of the birth to the Medical Officer of Health."
The year 1927 would appear to be an appropriate time, as then the Registration
of Stillbirths will be in force. At present, although notifiable, there is no
check, as they are as yet not compulsorily registrable.
