30.2.7 The decline in the number of immunisations carried out is attributed to:-
(a) the fall in the number of births.
(b) a very high degree of population mobility in this part of the metropolis.
(c) the particularly low number for the December quarters.
This results from the inevitable delay in receiving records for immunisations carried out
by general medical practitioners, which are now received through the Inner London
Executive Council instead of being forwarded directly by the general medical practitioners
as was done in 1966 and before.
