PUBLIC HEALTH (TUBERCULOSIS IN HOSPITALS)
REGULATIONS, 1911.
Forty-three cases of Phthisis were notified under these
regulations; 4 were also notified under the Voluntary
Notifications, and 2 under the Public Health (Tuberculosis)
Regulations, 1908.
After deducting the above duplicate notifications, a nett
total of 78 cases of Phthisis was notified during the year. Of
these, 8 were inmates of Claybury Asylum, and therefore
should not be included as belonging to Ilford, which leaves a
further reduced figure of 70 cases belonging to the Ilford
district.
As far as I can ascertain, 11 of the cases of Phthisis
notified during the year have proved fatal.
Six of the cases notified during 1909 and 1910 have died
during 1911.
DISINFECTION OF HOUSES AFTER PHTHISIS.
Thirty-two houses altogether were disinfected after
Phthisis.
Disinfection was offered in 37 instances but only
accepted in 23.
Upon request from the occupiers, 9 houses were disinfected
thus making the total of 32 mentioned above.
