Written question asked by Lord Trefgarne (Conservative), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Lord Astor of Hever (Conservative) on Monday, 24 September 2012.


Armed Forces: Aircrew

Question

To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they will arrange for medical statistics relating to aircrew serving in the Armed Forces to be made available to the Civil Aviation Authority.[HL2028]

Answer

Currently the Ministry of Defence does not routinely release medical statistics to the Civil Aviation Authority. However, in the interest of promoting flight safety, the MoD and Civil Aviation Authority have regular communication on topics of shared interest, including medical matters. If a specific request were received from the Civil Aviation Authority for medical statistics, then, within the requirements of the Data Protection Act, Human Rights Act and Freedom of Information Act, data would be made available in an anonymous and non-identifiable format.
