HC Deb 16 December 1987 vol 124 c535W
Mr. Butler

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what contingency plans his Department has made in the event of an AIDS epidemic among members of Her Majesty's forces; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Freeman

There is no indication that an epidemic among service personnel is likely. However, each service has a hospital which is designated as an AIDS reception centre. Patients will be treated in accordance with normal medical and nursing procedures.
