IV
Public Health Department,
Municipal Offices,
Tyndale Place, N. 1.
To the Mayor, Aldermen and Councillors of the
Metropolitan Borough of Islington.
I have the honour to submit the Annual Report on the Health and Sanitary
Conditions of the Borough for the year 1923.
Included are the statistical tables as prescribed by the Ministry of Health.
The draft Report was submitted to the Public Health Committee in
June, 1924. The death rate for 1923 was 116, the lowest recorded in the Borough
records, which date from 1841.
The Maternity and Child Welfare Scheme, both organisations, Municipal and
Voluntary, have worked in unison. The Infantile Mortality rate—66 per 1,000
births—constitutes a record for Islington.
Towards the close of the year a Sub-Committee was appointed to consider
possible extension of the Municipal activities.
I am,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
Gclark Sfrotter
Medical Officer of Health.
