HC Deb 13 June 1990 vol 174 cc231-2W
Mr. Ron Davies

To ask the Secretary of State for Health when the first known sero-conversion to HIV took place in a person with haemophilia as a result of using English factor concentrates.

Mrs. Virginia Bottomley

This information is not available centrally. The routine reporting of HIV infection in haemophiliacs to the public health laboratory service communicable diseases surveillance centre does not cover the country of origin of factor concentrate.

Mr. Ron Davies

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what proportion of factor VIII concentrates were imported into the United Kingdom from United States-based pharmaceutical companies each year between 1979 and 1985 and the latest year for which figures are available; and if he will list the pharmaceutical companies involved, along with their share of the market.

Mrs. Virginia Bottomley

This information is not held centrally.
