	tabling member constituency	Strangford
	tabling member printed	Jim Shannon
	uin	197938
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/05/2014 answer text <p>There were 959 laboratory confirmed cases of Lyme disease in England and Wales in 2011. The number of positive tests in 2012 was 998, and in 2013 1,200, although these data have not yet been disaggregated to exclude repeat tests on the same patients. Most cases of Lyme disease are diagnosed clinically by general practitioners and the numbers are not recorded, but there are probably around 3,000 cases of clinically apparent disease each year in the United Kingdom. The disease occurs over the whole of the country, but is more prevalent in some areas including the New Forest, Thetford, the Lake District and Scottish Highlands. Approximately 20% of cases confirmed by laboratory testing were acquired abroad. Lyme disease is considerably more common in parts of the United States of America and Northern and Central Europe than in the UK, and tourists to rural areas are at risk.</p> answering member constituency Battersea answering member printed Jane Ellison question first answered 12/05/2014 12:00:00 answering member 3918 label Biography information for Jane Ellison
