§ Mr. GROVESasked the Minister of Health whether any deaths occurred amongst the small-pox cases quoted in Columns A, B, C, and D of the report of the Chief Medical Officer for 1930; if so, what was the number and the ages in each class, respectively; and whether he will arrange for the deaths, if any, to be included in this table in future reports?
Sir H. YOUNGSixteen deaths occurred among the small-pox cases tabulated on page 49 of the report of the Chief Medical Officer of my Department for the year 1930. These deaths, following the classification adopted in the tabular statement, were distributed as follow:
As regards the last part of the question, as the table referred to relates to certain districts only and the total number of deaths from small-pox during the year is given elsewhere in the report, I do not think it is necessary to make the suggested addition to the table.
- Column A (successfully vaccinated)—Five deaths, of persons aged 46, 47, 56, 66 and 77 years, respectively.
- Column B (successfully revaccinated) —No deaths.
- Column C (unvaccinated)—Eight deaths, of persons aged 3 weeks, 4 weeks, 7 weeks, 8 months, 8 months, 10 years, 11 years, and 13 years, respectively.
- Column D (vaccinal condition doubtful)—Three deaths, of persons aged 45, 58 and 59 years, respectively.
