215 deaths of residents occurred in Hospitals and Public
Institutions, and of these only 10 deaths occurred in the Acton
Hospital.
15 deaths of residents occurred in the Fever Hospital.
The Infirmary of the Union is situated in Isleworth, and
90 deaths of residents occurred there.
These Institutions do not represent the extent to which
hospital treatment is utilised. Our proximity to London enables
the residents to resort to the large General Hospitals for treatment.
It is impossible to estimate the number of persons who are
treated in the large General Hospitals. Table 11 gives the number
of deaths which occurred in hospitals outside the district. The
total number of deaths which occurred in hospitals and public
institutions was 215; in addition, six deaths occurred in Nursing
Homes.
Amount of Poor Relief.
The amount of poor relief increased considerably during

following figures simply show the ordinary outdoor relief given in
