The ratio of non-notified tuberculosis deaths to total tuberculosis deaths was 1 : 4.
When a death from tuberculosis is registered and no record of notification is found, a letter
is sent to the medical practitioner certifying the death, asking for his reasons, and the answers have
in all cases proved satisfactory—the medical practitioner having believed that the case had previously
been notified.
