HC Deb 22 May 2002 vol 386 cc425-6W
Tim Loughton

To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many GP practices have failed to meet targets for MMR vaccination rates and missed out on target payments. [53294]

Yvette Cooper

[holding answer 29 April 2002]: 680 or 8 per cent. of general medical service general practitioner practices are not meeting the childhood immunisation targets. MMR is one of the immunisations in the childhood immunisation programme, the others are diphtheria, tetanus, poliomyelitis, pertussis and haemophilus influenza type B. No data are available for personal medical services (PMS) practices, as PMS works on the basis of local accountability these data are not held centrally.
