Report of the Medical Officer of Health.
| Sub-Districts. | 1911 | 1912 | 1913 | 1914 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Clapham | 2.88 | 2.24 | 3.33 | 3.15 |
| Putney | 1.72 | 1.43 | 1.50 | 4.37 |
| Streatham | 2.27 | 2.32 | 2.72 | 3.21 |
| Tooting | 3.64 | 5.80 | 4.10 | 6.11 |
| Wandsworth | 3.39 | 2.42 | 3.00 | 5.25 |
| Whole Borough | 2.82 | 2.65 | 2.97 | 4.33 |
| London | 2.32 | 2.50 | 3.88 | 5.64 |
In all the sub-districts the rate was higher than in 1913, with
the exception of Clapham where it was lower, while for the whole
Borough it was 1.36 per 1,000 above the rate for the previous year.
In Clapham the greatest number of cases was notified in
January and November, and the smallest in September and October.
In Putney the greatest number of cases was notified in November,
in Streatham in February, in Tooting in October, and in
Wandsworth in December.
The rate in Tooting was to some extent raised by the notification
of cases from the Fever Hospital. The total number of
cases notified from this Institution was 34, so that the rate instead
of being 6.11 would on that account be reduced to 5.74 in 1914,
and 3.44 in 1913.
In the whole Borough the greatest number of cases, viz.—168,
was notified in November, and the smallest in August, viz.—71.
