§ Mr. Viantasked the Minister of Health whether he will inquire into the death of Gillian Clair Moser, of Whittington, near Lichfield, aged 13 months, at the Children's Hospital, Birmingham, on 18th November, two days after being inoculated against diphtheria, since she was well, except for a cold, when she was inoculated, became seriously ill a few hours afterwards, had an injection the following morning and appeared allergic to the toxoid injected; whether the statement on the death certificate that one cause of death was acute anti-diphtheritic injection referred to the injection of toxoid or to the subsequent injection; and why the death certificate did not record that this baby had been inoculated with toxoid two days before her death.
§ Mr. WillinkI am making inquiries about the case to which my hon. Friend refers, and will communicate with him.
