Owing to the proximity of Acton to the large London
hospitals, a large number of residents are yearly treated in
public institutions outside the district, and any deaths which
may result have to be added.
Altogether, 92 residents died outside the district, and
these deaths were distributed as follows :—
Isleworth Infirmary 54
West London Hospital 7
St. George's Hospital 5
Great Ormonde Street Children's Hospital 5
Wandsworth Asylum 5
St. Mary's Hospital 3
St. Thomas' Hospital 2
Mount Vernon Hospital 2
Guy's Hospital 1
University College Hospital 1
Brompton Hospital 1
Homaepathic Hospital 1
Cancer Hospital 1
Kensington Infirmary 1
Hackney Infirmary 1
Bethnal House Asylum 1
Colney Hatch Asylum 1
The total number of deaths belonging to the district is
628, which corresponds to a death rate of 12.5 per 1,000
inhabitants.
There is another correction which is necessary before a
comparison can be instituted between this district and neighbouring
ones. When one considers to what extent a death rate
is affected by the sex distribution, and, more especially, by the
age constitution of a population, its small value for comparison
with other towns will be appreciated.
