§ Mr. P. Freemanasked the Minister of Health the total number of public vaccinators, vaccination officers, and inspectors charged with the duty of inspecting vaccination marks, and other persons connected with the practice or administration of the Vaccination Acts.
§ Mr. BevanThere are approximately 4,000 public vaccinators in England and Wales, practically all of whom are doctors in general practice. I regret that the number of vaccination officers is not readily ascertainable; they are generally local government officers engaged in other duties also. There are no inspectors charged with the duty of inspecting vaccination marks. The staff of the Government Lymph Establishment at present numbers 25.
