HC Deb 18 March 1935 vol 299 cc831-2W
Mr. GROVES

asked the Minister of Health how many full-time vaccination officers and public vaccinators, respectively, are employed in England and Wales; how many of these are paid by fees only and salary only, respectively; in how many instances is the appointment of vaccination officer and public vaccinator, respectively, combined with other appointments; and whether in any of these instances vaccinations are paid for by fees?

Sir H. YOUNG

I have no information to show how many of the vaccination officers and public vaccinators employed in England and Wales are full-time officers, and I cannot, therefore, answer the questions asked by the hon. Member.

Mr. GROVES

asked the Minister of Health how many death certificates were received during 1934 in which death was attributed to vaccinia or vaccination, or in some way associated with vaccination; and what were the ages of the victims of vaccination to whom these certificates referred?

Sir H. YOUNG

The answer to the first part of the question is seven. The ages of the persons concerned were three months, four months, eight months, six years, seven years, 18 years, and 20 years respectively.
