§ Mr. Raceasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what specific forms of training have been given to ancillary staff, nurses and doctors in dealing with contaminated and radiation casualties in those hospitals listed in the appendices to circular HC(76)52.
§ Mr. Geoffrey FinsbergCircular HC(76)52 gives guidance to health authorities on the precautions to be taken when dealing with casualties contaminated by radiation. We would expect all hospital staff likely to be involved in handling such casualties to be made aware of these precautions. The hospitals listed in the circular have special expertise in the use of radiation, and the training of the professional and nursing staff would include the containment of radiation hazards.
