FRI 14
FRIERN BARNET URBAN DISTRICT COUNCIL.
ANNUAL REPORT OF THE MEDICAL OFFICER OF HEALTH FOR THE YEAR
ENDING DECEMBER 31ST 1925.
To the Chairman & Members of the Friern Barnet Urban District Council
Mrs Bailey & Gentlemen.
I beg to submit my annual report on the Health Conditions of this
District for the year 1925.
This report is a Survey Report and will review the conditions
for some years back besides dealing specifically with matters arising
in 1925.
I have followed th3 order of the paragraphs set out in the
Circular No. 648 issued from the Ministry of Health in December 1925.
The statistical and topographical data embodied in this report
has been compiled by your Sanitary Inspector from records kept by
him and an intimate knowledge of the district acquired during his
service as your inspector, and has been verified and revised by the
latest available information from the General Register Office &
Ordnance Survey.
The figures for population, death, birth, and infectious
disease rates will differ slightly in some instances from those
given in previous reports owing to the fact that more reliable
data are now available than at the time of the preparation of those
reports.
Where comparisons are made between the figures belonging
to this district and those for England & Wales (abbreviated to E & W
In the tables and body of the report) propor corrections have been
applied to the crude rates to make them fairly comparable.
I wish to express my thanks to the Members of the Council
for their unfailing courtesy and to my colleagues for their ever
ready & able assistance during the past year.
I am Mrs Bailey & Gentlemen
Your obedient Servant
F.R.C.S. (ENG) D.P.H.
Medical Officer of Health.
Dated this 12th day of March 1926.
