HC Deb 19 December 1984 vol 70 c224W
Mrs. Renée Short

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what level of funding he plans to allocate to district health authorities to enable them to raise the level of provision of measles immunisation to all susceptible children entering pre-school playgroups, nursery schools and primary schools.

Mr. John Patten

When we launched our initiative to increase take-up of measles immunisation in July, health authorities were advised that any additional expenditure resulting from it should be met from within their existing revenue allocations.
