The Minister Tor Health, replying to a question on the subject of goitre prevention in the House of Representatives, said that tbe Department bynewspaper articles and public addresses has endeavoured to impress upon the public generally the desirability of using iodised salt, especially in endemic areas.

Evidence the Department has shows that an increasing use is being made of this salt, and that in endemnic areas a very considerable proportion of the salt used is of this nature.
