§ Mr. Ashleyasked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what study his Department has made of the relative incidence of Reyes syndrome in Northern Ireland compared with England and Wales.
§ Mr. NeedhamNone. Work on the factors which may be responsible for the varying incidence of Reyes syndrome in different parts of the British Isles is being undertaken by the British paediatric surveillance unit. Provisional figures for the period 1 August 1985 to 31 July 1986 show that the incidence in Northern Ireland has fallen to the same level as in Great Britain.
