§ Dr. Roger Thomasasked the Secretary of State for Social Services, in view of evidence of an increasing 84W incidence of measles, particularly in Wales, Northern Ireland and the North-West, if he will increase the effectiveness of the measles immunisation policy.
§ Mr. Geoffrey FinsbergThe provisional figure for measles vaccine uptake in England in 1981 shows a slight increase over 1980, but I agree that at 55 per cent. it is still disappointingly low. We are considering how this might be improved.
