While the Infant Death-rate may not quite constitute a record
it is equal to the previous lowest rate which was experienced in
1920, when there was an unusually high birth-rate as an aftermath
of the War. The rate of 47 compares very well with the rates for
England and Wales, for the Great Towns and for London, which
are respectively 75, 80 and 69 per 1,000 births. In Table II the
rate for 1924 is compared with the rates for the previous fourteen
years.
