Council Offices,
KINGSBURY. N.W.9.
April 1921.
To The Chairman and Members of the
Urban District Council Of Kingsbury.
Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen,
I have pleasure in submitting to you my Annual
Report on the health and sanitary conditions of the Urban
District of Kingsbury for the year 1920.
The subjects reported on are in accordance
with the requirements of a Memorandum issued by the Ministry
of Health and full details on each subject are dealt with under
their distinctive headings.
On perusal of the Report you will observe that
the District has been very free from the incidence of Infectious
Disease and in no respects has any influence adversely affecting
the health of the residents arisen.
The Birth Rate is exceedingly high, quite a
record in the history of Kingsbury, the Births being 43 in
excess of deaths.
The Infantile Morality is exceedingly satisfactory
in comparison with other Districts and although the Death Rate
is slightly above that of the Country as a whole, a very high
percentage of the deaths were of persons over 70 years of age.
The Vital statistics in the report go to show that
Kingsbury is one of the healthy London Surburban Districts.
Undoubtedly if the high cost of building had not prevented
the erection of suitable dwellings for residential purposes,
the District would have undergone rapid development.
I am, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
MEDICAL OFFICER OF HEALTH.
