Dear Public Health Wales Observatory,

 

Please can you provide what information you provide the Welsh Resiliance
Forum with regards to the planning of viral outbreaks in Wales.

 

The team that would handle this request has asked for clarification:

 

Do you want to know –

 

what the planning assumptions are, for example how many children have been
vaccinated with MMR so what is the potential risk of a measles outbreak

 

or

 

what the  process is for the planning of responses to an outbreak – then
there is local level and national. Have copied the link to the
communicable disease outbreak plan (publicly available)
[1]www.wales.nhs.uk/sites3/docopen.cfm?orgid=457&id=255613  and Wales
framework for managing major infectious disease emergencies
[2]http://gov.wales/topics/health/protectio...

 

 

 

I look forward to hearing from you.

Dear Mr Mantle

I think it might be more helpful to you to talk through what you need with a member of the team that deals with this rather than to me, who will only be able to relay information you give to me.

Daniel Rixon, Health Protection Emergency Support Officer, says he will be available on Wednesday 18th May and happy for you to phone him - his number is 02920 402491.

Best wishes

Jane Evans
