§ 50. Dr. Strossasked the Minister of Labour whether he will make a statement on the health, including the presence of changes in the white cell and eosinophil blood count of the woman employee, described on page 36 of the report of the Chief Inspector, who was subjected for one week to working with grade 120 radium in 1956; whether she is still employed as a luminiser; and what treatment has been given.
§ Mr. WoodThe woman has been regularly examined by the appointed factory doctor in accordance with the Luminising Regulations. At the last such examination earlier this month she was recorded as being in a satisfactory state of health. In addition, she has been examined on several occasions by a medical inspector of factories in the course of routine haematological investigations of persons exposed to ionising radiations. The most recent examination was in April this year when, both clinically and haematologically, nothing abnormal was found.
