Som CC: rows 3-8, from 1924-25 only; Glos CC: row 3 from 1921-22, row 5 from 1923-24, row 8 until 1942-43; Bristol: row 8 to 1939-40, rows 9 (including Southmead) 10 to 1938-39; Glos CB: row 8, 1931-32 to 1944-45, 1931-32 to 1936-37; row 9, 1931-32 to 1944-45; row 10, 1931-32 to 1937-38. In the CBs PH (row 1) is the sum of ID hospitals, TB, MCW, VD, notification, welfare of the blind, salaries of MOHs. NB, the absence of tuberculosis and mental deficiency data for Gloucestershire and Gloucester arises because the county and county borough operated joint committees with single accounts.
