There were 4 still-births during the year, the same number as in I960. . - ■ - The Still-Birth Rate was therefore 25.5 .per_1000 total births (i.e. live and still-births combined), which is higher than the average for the country in general, and a little lower than the Figure for I960. Fairly wide annual fluctuations are liable to occur in this Rate where small numbers are involved, as in this area.
