§ Mr. Leachasked the Minister of Health whether, in view of the fact that some 800,000 children pass from the 15 year old class every year, he will point out to those who compile the diphtheria immunisation statistics that the number of immunised is greatly overloaded if children, who pass the age of 15 years, are not deducted from the statistics each year and take the necessary steps to do this.
§ Mr. WillinkThe factor to which my hon. Friend refers is already taken into consideration in the statistical assessment of diphtheria immunisation, as contained in the annual reports of the Ministry.
