Mr. Robert G. HughesTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland when the number of BCG vaccinations delivered to school children will, on current trends, reach the level recorded in(a) 1985 and (b) 1980; and if he will make a statement. [7367]
§ Lord James Douglas-HamiltonCurrent practice is to provide tuberculin testing for school children aged around 12. Where the test is negative, BCG vaccination is offered. Figures published by the Registrar General for Scotland show that the number of 12-year-olds declined substantially over the period between 1980 and 1994. In consequence, the number of vaccinations has also decreased and, on current trends, the number of children vaccinated is unlikely, in the foreseeable future, to reach the levels recorded in these earlier years. The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation, which advises Health Ministers on vaccination issues, is reviewing the current arrangements for BCG testing and vaccination in schools and its recommendations, when available, will be carefully considered. Data on population, testing and vaccination in the years 1980, 1985 and 1994 are given in the following table.
as capital annually; and how much of the actual surplus was (a) retained by the NHS trusts and (b) returned to the Government. [7366]
§ Lord James Douglas-HamiltonThe information requested is set out in the table and was taken from NHS trust accounts for financial years 1992–93, 1993–94 and 1994–95.
