Certain statistics have thus been extracted from the last table and
grouped in this way. They are shown in the following table which also
includes the percentage of each social class for each disease or group of
diseases. The percentages should be compared with those in table 4 for
all deaths, but for certain groups it will be realised that the numbers
are too small for comparison year by year.

Social class in relation to infant statistics
The following table shows the social classification in relation to
registered births, registered infant deaths, notified stillbirths and notified
premature births, an extra line being added to each group to indicate the
percentage. Apart from the registered births the figures are too small
to be significant; the percentages in the category of registered births
can be compared with those for the registered deaths shown in table 4.
