It will be seen from the above that total population and notifica- tions of tuberculosis have each reached their highest level and that the recent unfavourable trend of the tuberculosis death-rate has continued. Tuberculosis of the meninges accounts for 20% of all tuberculosis deaths as compared to 22% last year while the age distribution of the disease remains substantially as before.

Notification of tuberculosis has been compulsory since 1939. Below are set out the notifications classified according to origin. It is of interest to note that only 567 cases of tuberculosis were notified by the 345 registered medical practitioners not in Government Service, an average of about 1.6 notification per practitioner per year.
NOTIFICATIONS OF TUBERCULOSIS (ALL FORMS) CLASSIFIED ACCORDING TO ORIGIN,
Tuberculosis of the respiratory system accounted for 11.7% of deaths from all causes as against 10.5% and 10.6% in 1949 and 1948 respectively. This increase must be regarded as a true increase, and while apparent at all ages, it is most outstanding in the under 5 years age groups. Excluding the under 5 age group the proportion of deaths from respiratory tuberculosis to deaths from all causes is practically unchanged.
