§ Mr. Hector Hughesasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will state the incidence of poliomyelitis in Scotland during each of the last five years, giving the ages and districts affected, and the steps taken to diminish and cure it in each district.
§ Mr. MaclayI cannot usefully add to the information given in reply to the hon. Member's two Questions of 11th July last, except to say that the vaccination programme has since been extended to include the age group 15–25 and to provide for third doses. By the end of October, 1958, 735,000 people had been vaccinated in Scotland and the vaccination of an additional 113,000 who have been registered is proceeding.
