Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen,
I herewith submit the Annual Report required by the Ministry
of Health and the Board of Education.
It will be observed that the vital statistics of the district
generally remain satisfactory; the death rate being 8.2 per 1,000
compared with the provisional rates of 11.7 for England and
Wales, and 11.4 for London, while the infant mortality rate was
42.8 per 1,000 Compared with the provisional figures of 57 per
1,000 for England and Wales, and 58 for London.
An account is given in the Report of
(1) The Mayesbrook Clinic, which has enabled the facilities
of the School Medical and Maternity and Child Welfare Services to
be made much more readily accessible to the residents in the eastern
portion of the town.
(2) The extensions to the Isolation Hospital, which bring the
accommodation at the Isolation Hospital to the minimum generally
considered to be required.
(3) The extensions of the Maternity Home, by an increase of
the number of beds for ordinary booked cases, a new Ante-Natal
Clinic, and six beds on the cubicle ward system for emergency
cases.
