§ 87. Sir W. SEAGERasked the President of the Local Government Board whether he is aware that there are a greater number of suspected cases of rabies in dogs in Glamorgan than in any other county in England; that no facilities exist for the preventive treatment of the human being nearer than London or Plymouth; and that any human being bitten by a rabid dog wishing prophylactic treatment is greatly handicapped; and whether he is prepared to take some action to see that a centre is established in Cardiff, that being the most accessible city in the county?
§ Major ASTORUp to the present no difficulty has been experienced in securing Pasteur treatment of persons bitten by rabid dogs. Four such cases have been reported from the South Wales area. One of those was treated at Plymouth; the other three are now undergoing treatment in London. The question of establishing additional centres is at present under consideration.
