§ Mr. CummingsTo ask the Secretary of State for Health how many people have been(a) tested and (b) proven to be HIV positive in the Sunderland, Durham and Hartlepool health authority areas in each year since 1988–89.
§ Mr. SackvilleRecords are not routinely kept by district health authorities of the total numbers of people tested for HIV and a detailed breakdown is therefore not available. In respect of Hartlepool, Sunderland, Durham, North West Durham and South West Durham health authorities, 23 individuals have been reported as infected with HIV to the Public Health Laboratory Service's communicable disease surveillance centre since April 1988; 14 of these were in the 12 months to March 1992. The AIDS (Control) Act provides that where the number of newly infected HIV persons is fewer than 10 the district health authority is not required to provide numbers.
