The wards with the highest average infant mortality over a
seven year period are: Upper Norwood, Thornton Heath, Whitehorse
Manor and South; the lowest averages are recorded in East,
Norbury, Broad Green, West Thornton and Woodside.
Any infant death occurring in an institution has been allocated
to the Ward in which the infant lived prior to admission.
Midwives Acts, 1902 and 1918.
91 midwives notified the Local Supervising Authority of their
Mention to practise within the Borough during 1931, 5 of whom
were in respect of periods of 2-3 weeks only; 4 cases removed out
of the Borough, so that 82 remained on the Register at the end of
the year. Of these 78 were trained and held the certificate of the
Central Midwives Board, and 1 was a bona-fide midwive, i.e., were
in practice as midwives at the time of the passing of the Midwives
Act, 1902 while 3 held the certificate of the London Obstetrical
Society
