HC Deb 17 June 1941 vol 372 c506W
Mr. Viant

asked the Minister of Health whether any of the 15 cases of encephalitis recorded in the year 1940 proved fatal; whether any of the fatal cases were soldiers; and whether all that did not prove fatal have recovered?

Mr. E. Brown

Of the 15 cases of post-vaccinal encephalitis which came to the notice of my Department in 1940, five were fatal. Two of the fatal cases were soldiers. All that did not prove fatal have recovered.
