Pulmonary Tuberculosis.—Of the 282 cases, 38 had been previously
notified, 1 in 1903, 1 in 1907, 1 in 1909, 1 in 1910, 10 in 1911, and 24
in 1912, and of the remaining 244, 13 were not, properly speaking,
"Hampstead" residents. The total number of residents notified or
re-notified as suffering from pulmonary tuberculosis was 269. The
number of new "Hampstead" patients notified in 1913 was, therefore,
231, and of these, 98 were males and 133 females.
Non-pulmonary Tuberculosis.—The total number of persons notified
in 1913 as suffering from non-pulmonary tuberculosis was 56, and of
these, 25 were males and 31 females. All were, properly speaking,
"Hampstead" residents.
It will be noted that the number of new cases occurring among
"Hampstead" residents notified during the year 1913 differs from the
number referred to elsewhere in the Report. This is accounted for by
the fact that, in accordance with the terms of the Public Health (Tuberculosis)
Regulations, 1912, some cases were notified to me who were not,
properly speaking, "Hampstead" residents, but the certificates in respect
of whom I was bound to accept. Such for instance were:—
Persons discharged from outlying institutions to institutions in the
Borough.
Persons admitted to the Hampstead Workhouse Infirmary from
institutions.
Casuals of no home, admitted to Hampstead Workhouse Infirmary.
The total number of notification certificates (including duplicates)
received during 1913 relating to Hampstead patients suffering from
various forms of tuberculosis was 383 pulmonary and 62 non-pulmonary.
