It will be seen that 48 deaths occurred in Outlying
Institutions, of these 29 were of males, and 19 of females,
22 took place in the Union Infirmary, 26 in general and
special Hospitals, and none in the Hospitals set apart
for infectious diseases.
If these 48 deaths are added to those actually occuring
in the sub.district, the death.rate would be raised 1.5
per 1,000, giving an inclusive rate of 16.5 per 1,000 of
the population.
This inclusive rate must not be compared with the
death.rate of former years, because the deaths of persons
in Outlying Institutions have only recently been included
in the local rate. I think it ought to be noted that
some of these outlying deaths are only nominally of
parishioners, whilst others are of persons so long resident
in the institution in which they died, as to have lost
their claim to be considered parishioners, and lastly
there are the deaths of new comers and temporary
residents to set off against the total outlying deaths.
