§ Ms. WalleyTo ask the Secretary of State for Health what equipment currently available under the NHS is capable of determining whether or not myodil dye was used in the past; what is the location of each scanner: and what is its current availability for use.
§ Mr. Dorrell[holding answer 14 January 1991]: If myodil dye was used in the past for a myelograrn its clearance from the body will vary from patient to patient. Normal radiographic X-ray equipment should detect any myodil still present in a patient's body.
