Urban District Council of Coulsdon and Purley.
HEALTH REPORT FOR 1925.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I have much pleasure in submitting my twenty-eighth Annual
Report upon the health and sanitary services of the District.
The year has been a satisfactory one from the point of view
of incidence of Infectious Disease, with the exception of an outbreak
of Paratyphoid Fever.
The Birth Rate for the year was 14.9, and the Death Rate
7.3 per thousand of population, as against 18.8 and 12.2 respectively
for England and Wales.
I have again to place on record the kind help and assistance
I have received from the Council and all its Officers with whom
my work has brought me into contact.
I am, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
C. M. FEGEN,
Medical Officer of Health.
