§ Mr. Viantasked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that out of six notifications of diphtheria recently reported in the Trowbridge area the only serious case was an immunised child; that this case has been re-diagnosed and will not appear among the recorded cases of diphtheria in immunised children; and as such re-diagnosis vitiates the statistics compiled in regard to immunised and un-immunised cases of diphtheria, if he will take steps to introduce a better system of statistics.
§ Mr. WillinkI am not aware of the circumstances to which my hon. Friend refers, but I am having inquiries made and will communicate with him as soon as I have obtained the necessary particulars.
