HC Deb 18 May 1976 vol 911 cc507-8W
36. Mr. David Price

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what steps he is taking to ensure that there are adequate supplies of anti-rabies vaccine available should there be an outbreak of this disease.

Dr. Owen

In my reply to the hon. Member for Thanet, East (Mr. Aitken) on 16th February—[Vol. 905, c. 542–3]—I said that stocks of rabies anti-serum, vaccines and immunoglobulins were being increased. This has been done, and I am satisfied that stocks are adequate to cope with an emergency situation.
