(a) The numbers given are of persons attending the units, normally whilst they were operating in London : such persons are therefore not necessarily London residents. The total number of London
residents examined throughout the country during the period July to December (excluding examinations during July and August by the Ministry of Health unit at Tavistock House) was 117,680
(60,490 male and 57,190 female) but pathological findings are not yet available.
