§ Mr. Gareth WardellTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales how many people in Wales have died of AIDS; and if he will disaggregate the figures by health authority area.
§ Mr. Gwilym JonesTo 31 March 1993, 78 of the AIDS cases reported by health authorities are known to have died. Of these, 34 were reported in South Glamorgan health authority and 15 in West Glamorgan health authority. The remaining 29 AIDS cases also known to have died were reported in Clwyd, East Dyfed, Pembrokeshire, Gwent, Gwynedd and Mid Glamorgan health authorities. The numbers of AIDS deaths in each of these health authorities does not exceed 10 and for reasons of confidentiality and in line with the AIDS (Control) Act 1987 are reported as "less than 10" for each health authority.
In addition, to 31 March 1993, 24 AIDS cases reported from outside Wales died while last known to be living in Welsh health authority areas.
