Sir Anthony Meyer
asked the Secretary of State for Wales if, in view of recent developments, in particular the increasing threat from the spread of AIDS, he will take steps to ensure the existence and continued effectiveness of the peripheral laboratories in Wales to the Public Health Laboratory Service.
Mr. Mark Robinson
My right hon. Friend is well aware of the vital contribution which the public health laboratory service makes to meeting threats to public health, such as AIDS. The PHLS has made clear its intention to ensure that an efficient and accessible service is available and the Welsh Office will continue to work with the PHLS to ensure this for Wales.
