BOROUGH OF FINCHLEY
ANNUAL REPORT OF THE MEDICAL OFFICER OF HEALTH FOR 1945
TO THE MAYOR, ALDERMEN AND COUNCILLORS OF
THE BOROUGH OF FINCHLEY.
September, 1946.
I have the honour to submit my Annual Report for the
year 1945.
The vital statistics are excellent. The Death Rate
is the lowest since 1939. The Infantile Mortality Rate
is low and. the Maternal Mortality and Still Birth Rates
are both very satisfactory. Deaths from the common
infectious diseases have never been so few.
The attendances at the Infant Welfare Centres, the
antenatal and other clinics continued to increase.
Every effort has been made to ensure the wholesomeness
of food and milk in the Borough and to improve whenever
possible the living conditions of the people which
have deteriorated so much throughout the war years.
I wish to express my thanks to all members of the
Staff for their good work during 1945.
