Salisbury Incident Update

Lord Selkirk of Douglas Excerpts

Monday 12th March 2018 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Evans of Bowes Park]

I will have to write to the noble Lord, as I do not have an answer to that question.

[Lord Selkirk of Douglas (Con)]

Can my noble friend give an estimate of how many could have been adversely affected by this attack in Salisbury?

[Baroness Evans of Bowes Park]

I do not have figures to hand but, as I said, all those who were in contact with the patients have been contacted by Public Health England and questions asked about their health status. Public Health England does not expect any further patients to present as a result of the event but, if anyone who was in the area is concerned or feels unwell, they should dial 111 or 999, depending on the severity of their symptoms.
