[Report of the Medical Officer of Health for Hendon]

It should be noted that the figures shown refer not only to
Hendon residents but also to persons living in other areas who were
involved in accidents within the Borough.
The figures for fatalities shown in these tables do not agree,
therefore, with those in the list of causes of death supplied by the
Registrar-General.
The latter refer to the deaths of Hendon residents only, and the
death may have occurred within the Borough of Hendon or some
other outside district.
I am indebted to the Town Clerk for supplying me with the
figures.
