In the tables which follow, particulars of new cases of
Tuberculosis and of all deaths from the disease in the area,
during 1936, are shown in Table 1, whilst Table 2 shows
the quarterly statements of cases on the register, together with
the position at the 31st December, 1936.
It will be seen that there is an increase in the number
of deaths from Tuberculosis. Reference to Table 1, page 24,
shows that among the Females the age periods 25 to 35 inclusive,
show the highest mortality. This is a fact which has already
been noted in statistics for the whole country and one which
is receiving the attention of all engaged in Tuberculosis work.
The heaviest mortality among the Males is in the age periods
45 to 55.
