Report of the Medical Officer of Health. 129
The next Table shows the number of cases notified, the number
which died, removed, and recovered during the years 1913 and 1914,
and the number still remaining on the register at the end of 1914.
TABLE LXVIII.

N.B.—The figures for 1913 do not correspond with the number of cases
notified as four cases of other forms of Tuberculosis notified in 1913
were in 1914 notified as suffering from Pulmonary Tuberculosis.
Table LXIX. is a summary of notifications during the period
from the 4th January, 1914, to the 2nd January, 1915, and has been
prepared at the request of the Local Government Board.
It will be seen that 687 primary notifications of Pulmonary
Tuberculosis were made on Form A, 401 of males and 286 of females,
while the total notifications were 876. Four cases were notified by
School Medical Officers on Form B, three of males and one of
females, while 214 notifications from Poor Law Institutions and
201 from Sanatoria were made on Form C.
The number of notifications on Form B by School Medical
Officers is exceptionally small.
From other forms of Tuberculosis 190 were notified on Form A,
four by School Medical Officers on Form B, while 15 were notified
from Poor Law Institutions and six from Sanatoria on Form C.
It may be stated that notifications on Form A are primary
notifications, i.e. cases not previously notified. Form B are notifications
from School Medical Officers, and Form C are secondary
notifications from Poor Law Institutions and Sanatoria on entering
such Institutions.
