Tuberculosis. 45
During the year 36 persons, not previously notified, were
certified as having died of Tuberculosis. The ratio of un-notified
Tuberculosis deaths to total Tuberculosis deaths is therefore
36 to 307.
Of the 36 un-notified deaths, 18 were certified from Institutions,
three by private doctors, while in six cases Tuberculosis
was discovered post mortem. In all cases the certifying doctor
was asked for an explanation, but in no case was it considered
necessary to take proceedings for wilful neglect or refusal to
notify.
48 persons died within one month after notification, 120
within three months, and 218 within six months.
