HC Deb 08 August 1882 vol 273 c1139
MR. P. A. TAYLOR

asked the President of the Local Government Board, Whether he has yet received the Report of the Medical Inspector of the Board in regard to the vaccination fatality at Norwich; whether he is aware that other similar cases have since occurred there: instructions forbidding the use of the and, whether he will issue immediate lymph which has produced such results?

MR. DODSON

Sir, I am as disappointed as my hon. Friend can be that I have not yet received the Report of the Inspector; but the circumstances in connection with these eases, which are very complicated, have required a more detailed examination than was anticipated, and the inquiry is not complete. I am, however, pressing for its completion with the least possible delay. I find that two other cases of erysipelas in recently-vaccinated children have occurred since the original case was brought under my notice; but one of them did not occur in the practice of the public vaccinator. Until I have received the Inspector's Report, I cannot form any opinion as to the origin of the fatality.
