Health of London shows improvements in City mortality
Mr. Simon the City of London officer of health presents the second annual report noting 2,752 deaths in the 1860 year in a 125,000 population, about 22 per thousand, a drop from the cholera year. He attributes the decline to sanitary measures, cites Norfolk and north west London districts as examples of low mortality, and stresses preventable diseases, water and housing conditions, and the limits of disinfectants. The report calls for better drainage, sewerage, and broader use of the Contagious Diseases Prevention Act. A deputation pressed Lord Seymour for permanent action and revised authority, with Lord Seymour seeking concrete amendments and time to review them.
