§ Ms PrimaroloTo ask the Secretary of State for Health, pursuant to her answer of 5 July,Official Report, column 1, if she will list the five commonest diseases associated with poor water supply and sewage disposal found in the United Kingdom and the incidence of those diseases in each of the last five years.
§ Mr. SackvilleThe incidence of diseases are recorded in the Communicable Disease Report published weekly by the Public Health Laboratory Service Communicable Disease Surveillance Centre, copies of which are available in the Library.
The source of infection for each case of disease reported cannot always be ascertained. It is therefore not possible to list the five commonest diseases associated with poor water supply or sewage disposal.
