Mr. Braddockasked the Minister of Health how many death certificates on which death was ascribed to croup have been received each year for the last ten years; or under what cause, or causes, are they classified by the Registrar General.
§ Mr. BevanFigures showing the number of cases in which death is ascribed to croup are not available, but the term is rarely used without qualification and if so used is the subject of further inquiry. Deaths due to membranous, diphtheritic or inflammatory croup are classified as diphtheria. Deaths due to catarrhal, laryngeal, spasmodic or stridulous croup are classified as laryngitis.
