Report of the Medical Officer of Health.
To ascertain the corrected death-rate corrections must be
made to the above by the addition of the deaths in Out-lying Institutions
of persons belonging to the Borough, and the subtraction
of all deaths in Public Institutions in the Borough of persons not
belonging thereto, whose domiciles were in other parts of London.
The total number of deaths for the 53 weeks, corrected for
both internal and external Institutions was 3,380, compared with
3,416 in 1907, 3,461 in 1906, 3,320 in 1905, 3,417 in 1904, 3,023 in
1903, 3,328 in 1902, 3,130 in 1901, and 4,209, the decennial average
corrected for increase of population.
The number of corrected deaths for the 53 weeks of the past
year was less than the number of deaths in the 52 weeks of 1907.
During the year 731 deaths occurred in Public Institutions
and 87 in other places not institutions in the Borough. Of these
818,633 deaths were of persons not belonging and 185 of persons
belonging to the Borough.
Table V. shows the total number of Institution deaths
arranged according to sub-districts and Institutions in which they
occurred, Table VI. the deaths of persons not belonging to the
Borough, and Table VII. of persons belonging thereto arranged
according to causes of death, sex and age, and Institution in which
the death occurred.
