During the year 19 persons, not previously notified, were
certified as having died of Tuberculosis. The ratio of un-notified
Tuberculosis deaths to total Tuberculosis deaths is therefore
19 to 276.
Of the 19 un-notified deaths, four were certified from Institutions,
11 by private doctors, while in four cases Tuberculosis
was discovered post mortem. In all cases the certifying doctor
was asked for an explanation, but in no case was it considered
necessary to take proceedings for wilful neglect or refusal to
notify.
54 persons died within one month after notification, 81
within three months, and 102 within six months.
621 cases were added to the notification register during the
year, and 737 cases who had removed, recovered or died, were
taken off. The number remaining on the register at the end of
the year was 2,088.
