    INFECTIOUS AND OTHER DISEASES The total notifications of infectious diseases within the Borough during the year numbered 414 compared with 220 in 1968. The increase over the previous year was due mainly to the food poisoning and dysentery outbreak which occurred towards the end of the year. The age distribution of notified cases is shown in Table 9 on page 28.
