§ Mrs. Iris RobinsonTo ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland whether the National CJD Unit in Edinburgh monitored all imports and exports of brains and brain material between Belfast and Dublin. [132411]
§ Angela SmithBrain and brain tissue samples which have been sent between Belfast and Dublin relate only to Multiple Sclerosis and related demyelinating disorders of the brain and not to suspected cases of CJD. The National CJD Unit in Edinburgh therefore does not monitor the movement of these samples.
