§ Mr. BROADasked the Under-Secretary of State for India how many smallpox hospitals have been opened in India and where they are situated; what steps are taken, if any, in municipal towns in regard to the notification and isolation of cases of small-pox; and if he will suggest to the Government of India the desirability of including information on these points in the annual health reports, and particulars of the number of patients treated in hospitals annually, and their vaccinal condition?
§ Earl WINTERTONI am unable to give the information desired by the hon. Member. With regard to the second part of his question, I would remind him that health administration is a subject for which the Governors of Indian provinces acting with Ministers are responsible. I will ask my Noble Friend to convey to the Government of India the suggestion contained in the latter part of the question.
