asked the Minister of Health, whether, as the seven cases of post-vaccinal encephalitis investigated in 1933 all occurred within one month of vaccination, he will say if any other cases were reported which developed more than one month after vaccination and, if so, how many; and whether the cases investigated in 1933 recovered completely and, if not, what is their present condition of health?

No cases other than those referred to by the hon. Member were reported to me. Of those cases, one died, five recovered completely, and one had recovered by the time of her discharge from hospital except for a slight and probably transient spastic condition of the limbs.
