HC Deb 15 April 1965 vol 710 cc239-40W
Mr. Ron Lewis

asked the Minister of Health if he will set up a permanent committee to look into the whole question of notifiable diseases, with a view to excluding some of the present notifiable diseases, and including others not at present on the list such an infective hepatitis, undulant fever, coronary thrombosis and cancer generally.

Mr. K. Robinson

My medical advisers have this subject constantly under review with the help of other expert opinion as necessary, and I see no need for such a committee.
