Report of the Medical Officer of Health.
In the separate sub-districts of the Borough the corrected
death-rate was 9.42 in Streatham, 9.83 in Putney, 10.20 in Tooting,
11.18 in Wandsworth, and 11.64 in Clapham.
The rates in all the sub-districts were much lower than in
1911, due to causes which will be commented on in another part of
this Report.
Table XIII. shows the death-rate in the Borough, in the five
sub-districts, and in England and Wales for the year, as well as the
rates for the previous 10 years, compared with the decennial average.
During the previous decennium the lowest mortality in the
Borough as well as in London and England and Wales, was in the
year 1910. The rate in 1912, although higher than in 1910, is in
all the sub-districts lower than the rate in 1911, and also considerably
lower than the average of the previous 10 years. Compared with
London and with England and Wales the Borough rate is considerably
lower.
In the sub-districts the rates for 1912 in Putney, Streatham and
Tooting are the lowest ever recorded.
