Written question asked by Countess of Mar (Crossbench), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Lord Drayson (Labour) on Wednesday, 8 November 2006.
Gulf War Illnesses
- Question
- Whether there is any government-funded organisation, other than the Medical Research Council, which is currently reviewing findings of international (particularly United States) medical and scientific researchers into Gulf War illnesses.
- Answer
-
The Ministry of Defence, as the lead government department on Gulf veterans’ illnesses (GVI), takes independent advice on the programme of GVI research principally from the Medical Research Council (MRC). The MoD has also established the independent Depleted Uranium Oversight Board and Independent Panel on Vaccines Interactions to provide specific advice on depleted uranium and multiple immunisations. These consider wider international findings as appropriate.
