The deaths occurring within the district of persons not
belonging thereto were 26, viz.:—
Atkinson Morley Convalescent Hospital 2
North Wimbledon Cottage Hospital 3
Others 21
After taking these into account, the total number of
deaths properly belonging to the district is found to be 628,
and the death-rate 10'7. The rate for England and Wales
for the same period was 13.4.
The corrected death-rate for the year is 10'9. This is
obtained by multiplying the net death-rate by the factor for
correction, 1.0196, which is supplied by the RegistrarGeneral
as a result of the last census. This factor is provided
so as to make the death-rate comparable with that of
other districts and the country as a whole on the basis of
a similar age and sex distribution for Wimbledon, as compared
with the country as a whole.
Apart from the transferable deaths, 94 deaths of children
under one year of age were registered, and this infantile
mortality is represented by a ratio of 86 deaths per thousand
registered births, an increase of 25 per thousand on the
previous year, and 9.2 on the average for the past five years.
The rate for England and Wales was 109.
By the Zymotic death-rate, we understand the number
of deaths per thousand of the population which are due to
the seven common epidemic diseases:—
(1) Small Pox.
(2) Measles.
(3) Scarlet Fever.
(4) Diphtheria.
(5) Whooping Cough.
(6) Fever, including Typhus, Typhoid and Ill-defined
Fevers.
(7) Diarrhœa.
