§ Mr. SHEPHERDasked the Minister of Health whether he will consider the question of so amending the Infectious Disease (Notification) Acts that any suspected infectious disease will have to be reported without awaiting the results of a bacteriological examination, where such disease is infectious in its early stages?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINNo, Sir. The Acts in question do not require notification to be delayed pending the results of a bacteriological examination, and notifications are frequently made solely as the result of clinical examination.
