PNEUMONIA.
The Public Health (Pneumonia, Malaria, Dysentery, etc.)
Regulations, 1919, were revoked at the end of 1927, and in
their place was substituted the Infectious Diseases (London)
Regulations, 1927. So far as Pneumonia is concerned, these
Regulations are practically the same as those revoked.
During the year 216 notifications of acute primary
pneumonia and 14 of acute influenzal pneumonia were
received. Seventy-one deaths were certified as due to acute
lobar pneumonia or to acute broncho-pneumonia. Four
persons died from acute influenzal pneumonia.
Nursing. Under the Council's scheme for the provision
of nursing assistance, 18 cases were nursed during the year,
267 visits being made by the nurses of the local nursing
associations. The total cost of this service to the Council
was £16 13s. 9d.
In tabular form is given below the number of notifications
of, and deaths from, the pneumonias each year since
