Ladies and Gentlemen,
I beg to submit the Annual Report on the health of the Borough
of Acton for the year 1946, together with the report of the School
Health Service of the Divisional Executive, for the Borough.
During the year the number of births has increased considerably,
. but as the population is now 65,150 the number of births per
thousand of the population is 19.76. The death rate is. 11.05 as
compared with 11.5 last year. This year Infantile Mortality is 27.9
as compared with 40.4 last year, the figure for England and Wales
being 46. This infantile mortality rate is satisfactory and it is to be
hoped it will be maintained.
