§ Laura MoffattTo ask the Secretary of State for Health what was the cost to the NHS of treating patients in the UK for infectious diseases contracted in other countries in the last year for which figures are available. [104133]
§ Yvette CooperInformation on the cost to the National Health Service from travel-related infection is not held centrally. Information on the numbers of all diseases notifiable under various Public Health (Infectious Diseases) Regulations in England and Wales are published in the Public Health Laboratory Service's Communicable Disease Statistics England and Wales. Where known, numbers of cases of diseases contracted abroad are given, but this information is not reliably reported. Copies are available in the Library.
