[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
may 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.
