![To the Chairman and Members. Mr. Chairman, Ladies and. Gentlemen, - I have pleasure in presenting to you my Report on the health of the District, together with the Report or the Public Health Inspector, for the year ended 31st December, 1961. There were 132 live births, 7 more than in 1960, giving a birth rate higher than that for England and Wales. • ~ - Still births totalled 3, compared with 6 in 1960. Deaths numbered 99, 15 more than the previous year. The leading causes of death were again circulatory diseases and cancer. There were-8 deaths due to accidents, 4 being motor vehicle accidents. Table IV gives an analysis of the causes of death. Once again there were no deaths associated with pregnancy and childbirth. - There were 4 deaths of infants under a vear old, com- pared with 3 in 1960. During the year there were only 3 notifications of infec- tious diseases (excluding tuberculosis). There were no cases of poliomyelitis, diphtheria or food poisoning. Six new cases of tuberculosis were reported, all respiratory. There were 3 deaths from this complaint. The Mass Radiography Unit continued to visit Mold every three weeks. 700 persons were examined during the year. B.C.G. vaccination against tuberculosis continued and 146 children in local schools were protected. Poliomyelitis vaccination continued, the local acceptance rate being very high. I commend to you the Report of the Public Health In- spector. This deals with the large mass of day to day work which is carried out in a Health Department. I wish to thank the Council and the Officers for the help which has been freely given throughout the year. I am, Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen, Your obedient Servant, D. ].
