HC Deb 20 February 1997 vol 290 cc699-700W
Mr. Donohoe

To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many cases of tropical diseases have been diagnosed within the United Kingdom in each of the last 10 years; and what estimate he has made of the cost to the national health service of treating these cases. [16267]

Mr. Horam

Information on the numbers of all diseases notifiable under various Public Health (Infectious Diseases) Regulations in England and Wales are published by the Office for National Statistics in the publications "MB2 Communicable Disease Statistics", annually, and "MB2" Infectious Disease Statistics", quarterly. Where known, numbers of cases of diseases contracted abroad are given. In addition, the public health laboratory service collects data voluntarily submitted by laboratories on those tropical diseases confirmed by laboratory tests and these are published in the PHLS's communicable disease report. Copies of these publications are available in the Library. Information on
