HC Deb 23 January 1969 vol 776 cc177-8W
Mr. John Page

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what arrangements he is making in the Harrow area to entitle those with special need owing to ill-health to receive the anti-Mao flu vaccine, in view of the fact that stocks, though not available locally, are available in other parts of the Greater London area to those without special need.

Mr. Ennals

Increasing quantities of vaccine are being supplied to all areas, for the benefit of groups at special risk, to whom priority is being given; and prescriptions by doctors, in accordance with their judgment of need, are increasingly being met. Suppliers have been asked not to make vaccine available for general use.
