HC Deb 08 June 1984 vol 61 cc292-3W
Dr. Roger Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will support a comprehensive measles vaccination programme, involving mobile vaccination teams visiting children's homes to ensure an optimum take-up.

Mr. John Patten

There is already a measles immunisation programme, which we keep under close review. It is for health authorities and general practitioners to decide how best the programme might be implemented locally, in the light of particular needs and circumstances.
