I hope to introduce the Estimates for my Department in the near future. I shall take the opportunity which the occasion offers to refer to the question of vaccination against poliomyelitis and the particular issue of the groups for whom a free service should be made available. In the meantime, I have authorised an extension of the current free and contributory schemes from ten to eighteen years of age.
