§ Mr. Leachasked the Minister of Health whether his Department receives information from medical officers of health regarding cases of diphtheria and deaths from that disease occurring in immunised children; and, if not, what other information the officials of his Department receive as to the occurrence of such cases and deaths?
§ Mr. E. BrownReturns which local authorities are asked to furnish periodically regarding immunisation of children against diphtheria show the number of cases of diphtheria notified during the period concerned and the number of these cases in which the child had received a full course of inoculation. Deaths attributed to diphtheria are recorded in the usual course by the Registrar-General; the notification of death does not provide for information as to immunisation.
§ Mr. Viantasked the Minister of Health how many cases of diphtheria, and deaths from that disease, have been recorded in Leicester in each of the years 1932 to 1941?
