§ Mr. CONANTasked the Minister of Health what percentage of the 44,517 persons admitted to residential institutions suffering from tuberculosis in 1930 were Group 2 or moderately advanced cases; and what percentage of Group 2 cases were discharged with their disease quiescent?
Sir H. YOUNGThe information asked for in the first part of the question is available only in respect of the persons who were discharged from or who died in these institutions during 1930. The number of such persons was 36,722 and of these 12,147, or 33 per cent., were classed in Group II at the date of admission. 802 of these patients, or 6.6 per cent., were discharged with their disease quiescent. These figures relate to England and Wales.
