§ Mr. GILBERTasked the Minister of Health whether his Department has recently made any effort to push the application of the Schick treatment for diphtheria in all institutions controlled or helped by his Department; whether any recent circulars on this treatment have been issued by his Department; and whether any of them suggest that it shall be applied to all school children who are in institutions under the control of his Department?
§ Sir A. MONDThe answer to each of the three parts of the question is in the negative. No circular has been issued by my Department on this subject since November last. I propose, however, to issue a memorandum, at an early date, containing information on the proper use of the test.
