All notifications on Form D should be disregarded in preparing this return. •Primary notifications relate to patients who have never previously been notified, either on Form A or on Form B in the sanitary district in which the case was notified in 1928. Any additional notification of a case which has been previously notified in the same sanitary district is to be regarded as duplicate. †Cols. (2.13) and (15.18) Only those cases which have been notified for the first time during the year on Form A or on Form B in the area to which the return relates, and which have not been brought to the notice of the M.O.H., in a previous year otherwise than through formal notification, should be included in Cols. (2-13) or (15-18), respectively. [In completing the form in respect of a County area, it is to be noted that under the 1912 Regulations, a person who changes his residence from one sanitary district to another in the same County may properly be the subject of Primary notification in each such district during the period of his residence therein. Only the first of such notifications, however, should be recorded in Cols. (2.13) if on Form A, or in Cols. (15.18), if on Form B. Subsequent notifications should be included in Col. (14) if on Form A, or in Col. (19), if on Form B.] Col. (14). All notifications on Form A whether duplicate or not should be included in this column. Col. (19). All notifications which have been made during the year on Form B in the area concerned, whether the cases have previously been notified in the area, or not, either on Form A or on Form B should be included in this column. Col. (21). In the case of an institution belonging to the Council of a County Borough, formal notifications on Form C may not be made to the Medical Officer of Health in respect of patients from the County Borough. If such is the case, the totals of the weekly admissions of such patients during the year should be shown in brackets in Col. (21) (according to the classification in Col. (1)), and these figures should be regarded as additional to the figures showing the number of formal notifications on Form C in this column.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/B18236212_0062.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
