§ Mrs. Renée Shortasked the Secretary of State for Social Services when he expects to be able to provide a detailed analysis of the costs and benefits of his proposal for a selective vaccination policy against tuberculosis; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. WhitneyI refer the hon. Member to my reply to the hon. Member for Crewe and Nantwich (Mrs. Dunwoody) on 6 December at column395. The joint committee on vaccination and immunisation will continue to monitor data on the incidence of the disease and will reconsider the benefits of a switch to a selective vaccination policy before 1990.
