The Countess of Mar

asked Her Majesty's Government:

How many patients have been examined by the Ministry of Defence appointed specialist for problems associated with Operation Granny, and whether these patients undergo tests to ascertain their immune status and whether there are any toxic residues in their blood or body tissues.

Lord Henley

So far, 29 patients have been examined by the military medical consultant physician appointed to investigate personnel who believe their health has been adversely effected by Operation Granby.

The special tests employed in these assessments are tailored to the particular requirements of each patient after considering the medical and occupational history, the reported symptoms and clinical signs found on examination. If indicated, these special tests include immunological and toxicological investigations.
