HC Deb 11 December 1928 vol 223 cc1923-4W
Mr. BROAD

asked the Minister of Health why the number of deaths has not been stated, as usual, in the table on page 22 of the Report of the chief medical officer of his Department for 1927; and, in the absence of any sufficient reason for such omission, will he arrange for the figures to be duly inserted in future annual Reports?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

Full particulars relating to the small-pox deaths during 1927, including the vaccinal condition at time of infection, are given in the table on pages 18–20 of the Report referred to, and it was not considered necessary to repeat this information in the table on page 22.

Mr. BROAD

asked the Minister of Health which are the 13 deaths in the list set out on pages 18–20 of the Report of the chief medical officer of his Department for 1927 which have been excluded by that officer from the total number of deaths recorded by him as being attributable to small-pox during the year 1927?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

The deaths in question are distinguished by the following numbers in the table on pages 18–20 of the Report referred to: 2, 4, 8, 10, 27, 36, 37, 40, 44, 45, 46, 47 and 48.
