§ Mr. Foulkesasked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many people under the age of 20 years are currently being treated for leukemia in Scotland; how many are from each health board area; and what clusters are identifiable from any ward, town, constituency or district council area.
§ Mr. John MacKayA study is currently being undertaken of the existence of clustering of cases of leukaemia among children in Scotland. The results of this study will be published in due course. It is not possible to state how many people under the age of 20 are currently being treated for leukaemia in Scotland.
§ Mr. Foulkesasked the Secretary of State for Scotland which hospitals in Scotland are currently treating children for leukaemia; what is the number of children in each hospital; and how this number compares with the same time in each of the last 10 years.
§ Mr. John MacKayDuring 1981, the latest date for which information is available, the following hospitals treated patients under the age of 20 suffering from leukaemia. It is not possible, from the information available centrally, to identifiy the actual number of children treated, since some patients may be treated several times over a period of years and possibly at different hospitals.
