Non-notified Deaths.—There were 29 deaths from Tuberculosis
during 1933 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 29 non-notified deaths gave a percentage of 28-7 of the total
deaths from Tuberculosis for the year.
The total number of cases of Tuberculosis on the Register at the end
of 1933 was 1,313 as compared with 1,302 at the end of the year 1932.
The Public Health (Tuberculosis) Regulations, 1924.
The number of unnotified deaths during the year was 29; the
corresponding percentage proportions are 32.0 per cent. (1932) and 28.7
