Still-birth rate per 1.000 live and still-birtlis. 1965: 1964: 1963: 1962; 1961: I960: 15.7 16.3 17.2 18.1 18.7 19.7 The number of still-births was 8 compared with 4 in 1964» 13 in 1963? 15 in 1962, 7 in 1961 and 10 in I960. The rate was slightly greater than that for England and Wales. We believe that this number could be reduced if prospective mothers made full use of the facilities available under the National Health Services Act - antenatal attention either from the Family Doctor, the County Council's Clinics, or from the Hospitals' Clinics. These services are now more used than they used to be. It must be accepted, however, that with a high birth rate, there must be a number of still-births. Deaths (General) Rate.

Totals 327 There has been a rise in the death rate as compared with 1964. TlTcre were 327 deaths compared with 254 in 1964 and 277 in 1963. Applying the Registrar General's comparability factor ( which helps to make a true comparison between the rates in the various areas of the countiy) the death rate is reduced to 13.7 per 1,000 population.
