Pilot of enhanced enteric fever surveillance in England, Wales and Northern Ireland: 1 May 2006 – 30 April 2007 (19th March 2008)
This report details the findings from the Health Protection Agency’s one year pilot study of enhanced surveillance of typhoid and paratyphoid fever (enteric fever) in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland (EWNI) between 1 May 2006 and 30 April 2007, together with recommendations for public health action. The largest proportion of cases (40%) occurred in the London region, therefore a separate London supplement is also available.

Guidance on the application of dose coefficients for the embryo, fetus and breastfed infant in dose assessment for members of the public (March 2008)
This document provides guidance on the application of these dose coefficients in relation to different exposure situations. Information is given on the dose coefficients and the related guidance previously given by the ICRP and the National Radiological Protection Board. The importance of considering doses resulting from in utero exposures to radionuclides and their transfer in breast milk is assessed, based on a series of calculations carried out for routine discharges of radionuclides to the environment. The applicability of the results for emergency exposure situations and solid waste disposal is also addressed.
