69. Mr. Scott

asked the Minister of Health whether he is satisfied that Great Britain will retain the world lead she has at present in the development of infection control systems in hospitals; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Loughlin

The intention is to maintain and improve the present high standards. Hospital authorities well understand the need to keep up to date in this field, and my right hon. Friends the Minister of Health and the Secretary of State for Scotland issue guidance for this purpose.
