In so far as information requested by the Deputy is available it is shown in the following table. For the year 1910 to 1947, inclusive, such details in regard to cases as are available are not complete and would not be comparable with figures for later years. As 1961 is the latest year in respect of which the required information is available for new cases, the mortality rate for that year has also been indicated.
