Ceist:180 Mr. Sherlock asked the Minister for Health if he will give details of the infant mortality rate in the Dublin area in each of the years from 1985 to date.
Written Answers. - Infant Mortality Rate.
The information requested by the Deputy is as follows:
Infant Mortality Rate: Dublin County Borough 1985-1988

1985 |
1986 |
1987* |
1988* |
|
8.3 |
9.0 |
8.3 |
10.7 |
*The figures for 1987 and 1988 are based on year of registration rather than year of occurrence and are therefore, provisional. Many of the deaths registered in 1988 in fact occurred in 1987 and the adjusted figures to be issued by the CSO will show a different rate for 1988.
