2.2.4 In the four years 1965 to 1968 live birth figures have fallen from 3,963 to 3,223.
If this trend continued unchecked, the live births within another 10 years would be only
of the order of 750 a year.
2.2.5 Stillbirths numbered the same in 1968 as in 1967, a rate of 14 per 1,000 total
births (13 per 1,000 in 1967) and the same as the national stillbirth rate.
2.2.6 Illegitimate live births were again lower, but, because of the overall reduction
in births, slightly higher as a proportion of the total live births, i.e. 17.7 per cent, in
1968; 17.1 per cent, in 1967; 16.7 per cent, in 1966.
