HC Deb 02 February 1978 vol 943 c265W
Mr. Patrick Jenkin

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will give an estimate of the annual number of deaths certified as due to heart attacks, strokes, and infections but where death has been induced by hypothermia; and whether he is satisfied that the appearance of hypothermia as the cause of death on death certificates is a valid criterion for judging its incidence.

Mr. Ennals

I shall let the right hon. Gentleman have a reply as soon as possible.
