HC Deb 26 May 1944 vol 400 cc1061-2W
Mr. A. Edwards

asked the Minister of Health whether the reported case of smallpox at Yeovil, the diagnosis of which has not been confirmed, will be recorded by the Registrar-General as a notified case of smallpox or whether his records will be revised and this case omitted.

Mr. Willink

This case was reported to the Registrar-General as one of notified smallpox by the responsible medical officer of health, and it has therefore been properly so recorded. I would refer my hon. Friend to the statement I made yesterday, in reply to his previous Question, about the diagnosis of this case.
