(a) Rate per 1,000 total births. (b) Comparable figures not available for this period, (c) Cases relate to last quarter only—Rates are adjusted on an annual basis, (d) Cases
relate to last 22 weeks only—Rates are adjusted on an annual basis, (e) In order to preserve uniformity with published national figures the practice of the
Registrar-General has been followed in producing this table, namely in taking full account of any known changes in diagnosis after the receipt of the original notification. These
corrections were not available prior to 1944. Comparable figures can be obtained by the method given in the footnote to this table in previous annual reports.
(f) Rate per 1,000 live births, (g) For cause of increase since 1950 see page 15.
