This has certainly made my yearly survey less exciting and undoubtedly less interesting - than would otherwise have been the case. None the less, it clearly points to the happy position in which Wood Green has found itself for so many years. This has been largely due to the careful planning which has gone into the shap...

7 in 1961. This rise is very small, perhaps too small to have any real significance. Nevertheless it should be noted. The infantile mortality rate, i.e. the number of infants who died during the first year of life per thousand live births, was 26.8 as against 30, 4 in 1960 and 20.71 in 1959. With such a comparatively s...

This is a highly satisfactory situation, due to a variety of causes better midwifery, better ante-natal care and the almost incredible advances witnessed in the use of antibiotics. The number of infectious diseases notified during 1961 was considerably in advance of those notified during the previous year, 867 as again...

More important, much more important, is the fact that the type of infectious disease met with during 1961, indeed since the war, is very much milder on the whole than previously It is also worthy of note that no cases of poliomyelitis were notified during the year, the last case of this particular disease occurring in ...

Those authorities which have a "Health & Housing Committee", where matters appertaining to housing as a major problem are dealt with by the Health Committee, are in some respects adopting a wholly logical attitude.

Scarlet Fever notifications fell from 38 in 1960 to 15 in 1961. Once again, as I have so often said before, the type of scarlet fever met with was extremelv mild, so mild that admission to hospital was only necessary when no one remained at home to look after the affected child. 2. For the fourteenth year in succession...

Indeed so far as I am aware, this immunisation rate is perhaps the highest in these islands. 3. Measles notifications rose from 21 in 1960 to 763 in 1961. This was to be anticipated, as 1961 was a "measles year". As in the case of scarlet fever, severity was extremely low. 24 4. Pertussis notifications fell from 72 in ...

This is proved by the faot that, of the 13 cases of pertussis which occurred in 1961, 12 infants had either not been immunised at all or had not completed their course of injections. 5. The incidence of food poisoning and dysentery fell from a combined total of 37 during 1960 to a total of 6 in 1961. The measures which...

All cases of dysentery and food poisoning, particularly Salmonella typhimurium infections, are carefully investigated. Where any cause is discovered, the matter is actively pursued even when the original infection took place somewhere outside the Borough. 6. No case of poliomyelitis was notified during 1961. As in the ...

It'need scarcely be said that this method is proving extremely popular as after-effects are virtually nil and the disadvantage of a prick eliminated. It is important to remember that several outbreaks of poliomyelitis have recently occurred within Great Britain, one at least being extensive. This proves that the virus ...

The birth rate has risen successively each year from 14.2 in 1959, 15.0 in 1960, 15.7 in 1961 to 17.07 this year. This rising birth-rate is taking place generally over the whole country. Less satisfactory and a cause for concern is the trend in the illegitimate birth-rate, i. e. the number of illegitimate births expres...
