SAMOAN EPIDEMIC
QUESTION OF. NOTIFICATION.
With reference to the Sainoan epidemic, and the responsibility for advising Samoa of the prevalence of influenza in New Zealand, Sir James Allen stated today, in answer to a question, that though the Public Health Department may not' have been, under the regulations prevailing at the time of the epidemic, directly responsible for communicating to Samoa, arrangement had since been made'for them to do so. In any reorganisation it seemed essential that such notifications should be made by the Department of Public Health. This applied not only to Samoa, but to the whole system of worldwide notification of the prevalence of infectious diseases.
