![Comment The outstanding statistics is the ’’Nil” one for Infant Mortality, and secnridly the Nil” Maternal Mortality Rate, Vifith a relatively small popul''.tl.on hoRev^r, such s the Borough’s, v;ith a--correspondihgly smair nuaher of hlrths,cne occurence of even one inlano death causes a large increase in the I.M.R. For example with 70 live births in a year, the dv^,ath of one, under one year old, would increase the I.M.R. by fourteen. It is not possible that many years will occur with no Infant deaths such as 1960, so rather large fluctuations in the I.M.R, must be expected.

The ”Standardized” death rate is s-Ligh;t^y comparable, in a way that the Crude rate is not. It compares favourably v>^lth that for England & Wales (for 1959) and is very similar to that for Y/iltshire.
