Tuberculosis. 49
During the year 16 persons, not previously notified, were
certified as having died of Tuberculosis. The ratio of un-notified
Tuberculosis deaths to total Tuberculosis deaths is therefore
16 to 229.
Of the 16 un-notified deaths, eight were certified from Institutions,
five by private doctors, while in three cases Tuberculosis
was discovered by 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.
63 persons died within one month after notification, 92
within three months and 111 within six months.
621 cases were added to the notification register during the
year, and 686 cases who had removed, recovered or died, were
taken off. The number remaining on the register at the end of
the year was 2,072.
