How many reports of adverse reactions to vaccines and other medication administered to members of HM Armed Forces deployed in the Gulf in 1990–91 were reported to the Medicines Control Agency by (a) hospitals and (b) general medical practitioners. [HL 4346]
§ Lord Hunt of Kings HeathThis information is not available.
The Medicines Control Agency receives reports of suspected adverse reactions to licensed medicinal products via the Yellow Card Scheme. The scheme is voluntary for doctors, dentists, coroners and hospital pharmacists. There is a mandatory requirement for reporting by pharmaceutical companies in relation to their products. However, information on where a patient may work is not routinely collected and the information requested cannot be obtained from data available.
