HC Deb 07 February 1984 vol 53 c576W
Dr. Roger Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what steps he is taking to ensure the success of the vaccination programme to eradicate measles.

Mr. John Patten

Health authorities and general practitioners are aware of the importance the Department attaches to the measles vaccination programme, and there continues to be an upward trend in uptake of vaccination. We continue to review the level of uptake and ways in which it might be improved.
