HC Deb 18 July 1911 vol 28 c1007W
Mr. SUTTON

asked the President of the Local Government Board why the awards to public vaccinators in 1909 were so much larger in total amount than in previous years, seeing that less vaccinations were performed?

Mr. BURNS

The awards paid to public vaccinators in a particular year depend not on the total number of vaccinations performed in that year, but on the number of vaccinations performed by the public vaccinators recommended for awards after the inspection of their work by medical inspectors of the Board. It is not possible to maintain the amount of vaccination inspection in each year at a uniform level.
