The distribution of the new cases throughout
the various Wards was as follows:-
North. South. Central. East. West. Friern Hospital.
3 2 5 - 1 4
A general classification of the new cases
notified during the past three years (excluding those
notified from Friern Hospital) in relation to their
employment was:
1956. 1957. 1958.
Clerical 2 3 1
Housewives 2 3 -
Children 1 - 2
Professional Classes 1 2 -
Factory Workers - 1 5
Manual Workers 2 1 1
Hairdressing -
Food Trades -
Nurses 1
Unclassified 1 4 2
It should again be stressed that these totals
are not sufficiently large to allow significant conclusions
being drawn. They can, however, be used
as a means of practical comparison, if, for instance,
one compares the Ward distribution as set out in the
Annual Report for 1957, with the Ward distribution
as set out above, it will be seen that no Ward was
specifically affected each year. Thus, although
five cases were reported from the South Ward in
1957, this figure had dropped to two in 1958; while
the figure for the Central and West Wards were one
and six in 1957, and five and one respectively in
1958. In other words, it does not appear that any
particular part of the Urban District is specifically
affected.
