The deaths in Institutions of Ilford non-residents occurred chiefly at
Claybury Mental Hospital and West Ham Mental Hospital; 2.6 per cent. of
the registered causes of death in these Institutions fell under the above
headings. Many other patients died from incidental causes; the reason,
however, for their admission to the Mental Hospital was some venereal
infection.
The following figures show the number of cases of Ophthalmia
Neonatorum notified during the past five years:—1941, 8; 1942, 9; 1943, 8;
1944, 4; 1945, 3. It is to be remembered that many cases of ophthalmia
neonatorum are not due to gonorrheal infection.
By the Public Health (Venereal Diseases) Regulations, 1916, diagnosis
and treatment of Venereal Disease is under the control of the Essex County
Council. Arrangements have been made with the various London Hospitals
for the treatment of patients, and with the London Hospital for the free
examination of bacteriological specimens submitted by doctors in the
district.
