SURVEYS 1971
During the year the department supplied information for the
following surveys -
MRC Measles Vaccine Trial
MRC T.B. Vaccine Trial
Oxford Survey of Childhood Cancers
MRC Survey of Children's Speech
National Survey of Health and Development.
National Surveillance Programme of Congenital
Rubella Defects
Queen Elizabeth Hospital for Children Survey
on Incidence of Infectious Disease
This involved the department in a considerable amount of work but
it was felt that this was worthwhile in the interest of general community
health. However, in view of the ever increasing number of requests from
a variety of sources it has become more and more necessary to scrutinise
the worthiness of each request received.
