Non-notified Deaths.—There were 25 deaths from Tuberculosis (19
males and 6 females) during 1931 of persons who had not been notified
in Westminster. The majority of these had been notified elsewhere,
some were sudden deaths of visitors to this country, of inmates of
asylums, etc., and the cause of death in some cases was only discovered
on post-mortem examination. These 25 non-notified deaths gave a
percentage of 20.6 of the total deaths from Tuberculosis for the year.
The total number of cases of Tuberculosis on the Register at the end
of 1931 was 1,631 as compared with 1,607 at the end of the year 1930.
