§ Miss Maynardasked the Secretary of State for Employment whether the Employment Medical Advisory Service has carried out an epidemiological study to establish the community health of farm workers; and if any such study is planned by the service.
§ Mr. John GrantI understand from the Chairman of the Health and Safety Commission that no such studies have been undertaken or are planned by the Employment Medical Advisory Service. Community health is a matter for the area health authorities which are the responsibility of my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Social Services rather than of the Health and Safety Commission and Executive.
