It is very difficult—if not impossible—to estimate the
exact incidence of these non-notifiable infectious diseases
in the District. Some indication, however, may be had
from the number of cases notified from the schools,
viz.:—
Mumps 125
Measles 124
Whooping Cough 101
Chickenpox 21
Influenza 4
ISOLATION HOSPITAL ACCOMMODATION.
The provisions made by the Council for isolating
cases of infectious diseases have worked satisfactorily
throughout the year.
Thirty-five cases were removed to hospital as
follows:—
London Fever Hospital 13 cases.
Tolworth Isolation Hospital 12 cases.
Twickenham Isolation Hospital 6 cases.
Mogden Isolation Hospital 2 cases.
Western Hospital (L.C.C.) 1 case.
Grove Hospital (L.C.C.) 1 case.
Each hospital provides an ambulance in which the cases
are removed.
The Council is a participating Authority under the
South Middlesex and Richmond Joint Hospital Board
Order. This Order was, during the year, confirmed to
operate as from the 1st April, 1935.
