Public Hall, where an Infant Clinic is held every Wednesday from
2 to 4. Maternity cases are seen between the same hours. The
Infant Clinics are proving successful, but very few persons have,
as yet, taken advantage of the Maternity consultations. The
infants seen numbered 252 and their attendances at the centres
were 922. Eight maternity cases were seen and made 13 attendances.
Infant Deaths.
The total number of infant deaths during 1916 was 69, giving
an Infant. Mortality rate of 77.3 per 1,000 births. This figure is
very much lower than that of 1915, which was 102.4 per 1,000
births. It is also distinctly lower than the rate for England and
Wales for the same period (91), and London (89).
The Infant Mortality rate, as seen from the following table,
varies from 52.9 in Hounslow North Ward, which is the lowest,
to 93 9 in Isleworth North Ward, where the rate is highest:—
