HC Deb 16 February 1995 vol 254 c813W
Ms Jowell

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what was the incidence of AIDS and HIV per 1,000 population in the London boroughs of(a) Southwark, (b) Hammersmith, (c) Wandsworth, (d) Haringey, (e) Sutton, (f) Kingston, (g) Waltham Forest and (h) Ealing in each year since 1991.

Mr. Sackville

Information on the incidence of HIV and AIDS per 1,000 population is not collected by the Public Health Laboratory Service. Currently the PHLS does not make public numbers of cases of HIV and AIDS below regional health authority level to protect the confidentiality of individuals with HIV/AIDS and in order not to deter people from coming forward for testing.
