The Welsh Paediatric Surveillance Unit was established in
1994 to monitor the incidence and prevalence of a number of
uncommon disorders of childhood in Wales. Its work complements that of the British Paediatric Surveillance Unit. Information from consultant paediatricians is obtained by means of a monthly card return system; return rate is over 90%.
