HC Deb 22 December 1971 vol 828 c390W
Mr. Geoffrey Lloyd

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he is satisfied that sufficient tuberculosis health visitors are available in those towns in the West Midlands and the West Riding of Yorkshire, where, according to the British Tuberculosis Association Survey of 1965, a copy of which is in his possession, the percentage of notifications of tuberculosis among those born outside Great Britain and Ireland was highest; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Alison

I have seen a copy of this survey and am informed that recent inquiries have not indicated any deficiency in the health visiting service to tuberculosis households in these areas.
