Tuberculosis.
45
During the year 27 persons, not previously notified, were
certified as having died of Tuberculosis. The proportion of unnotified
to total Tuberculosis deaths is therefore 9.4 per cent.
19 of the un-notified deaths were certified from Institutions
three by private doctors, while in five 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.
62 persons died within one month after notification, 89
with three months, and 110 within six months.
