Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Baroness Masham of Ilton (Crossbench). It was answered by Baroness Thornton (Labour) on Tuesday, 30 June 2009.
Health: Tuberculosis
- Question
- To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they accept the recommendation of the Health Protection Agency that there should be at least two mobile X-ray units for tuberculosis screening in London; and, if so, when the second unit will become operational.
- Answer
-
My Lords, my department accepts the recommendations of the Health Protection Agency evaluation, which clearly showed the benefits of the mobile X-ray unit. We will continue to fund the mobile unit through the find and treat programme, which actively screens homeless hostels across London until 2010. It will then be up to the London commissioners to reach a consensus on future support for find and treat, including whether there should be a second mobile x-ray unit.
