INFANTILE MORTALITY.
During the year 1936 there were 1,921 births, and 139 deaths of children under the age of
twelve months in the Borough. These figures give an infantile mortality rate (deaths of infants
under twelve months to each 1,000 live births) of 72.
One hundred and forty-six deaths of children under one year of age, reported as occurring
in the Borough or taking place in other districts, were allocated to us by the Registrar-General.
As a result of enquiries it was found possible to obtain transfer of seven of the deaths as not
belonging to Paddington.
Of the one-hundred and thirty-nine deaths investigated, fifty-one, or nearly 37 per cent., had
not resided in the Borough one year. These can bo sub-divided as follows :—
Under 1 month 4
Between 1 and 3 months 12
,, 3 ,, 6 months 11
,, 6 ,, 12 months or unknown 24
Five deaths were allocated to the Borough for the following reasons:—
" Newly-born "—found in Canal 3
"No fixed abode" of mother 1
Died in Paddington but parents resident in British West
Indies 1
