HC Deb 21 July 1938 vol 338 c2449W
Mr. Sutcliffe

asked the Minister of Health whether he can state the comparison, on a population basis, between the number of cases of rheumatism in Lancashire and in the country as a whole?

Mr. Elliot

Except in a few London districts where notification of acute rheumatism in children is being tried experimentally, rheumatism is not a notifiable disease, and I regret therefore that the information required is not available.
