The notifications of Scarlet Fever and Diphtheria are lower
than in 1914, but the mortality from both was higher.
There was no death from Enteric Fever.
There was an extensive outbreak of Measles in the early part
of the year, and 26 deaths occurred from the disease.
Although the incidence of Infectious disease was light, the number
of cases treated in the Hospital remained high. Outside
cases from Hanwell and Wembley were treated and Military cases
from the camp at Park Royal were admitted.
Your obedient servant,
D. J. THOMAS.
