'FISH' blood analysis

Medical Research Council did not have the information requested.

Dear Medical Research Council,

I have attempted for many years to have the blood analysis 'FISH' test but have been unsuccessful.
When laboratories discover I am a Nuclear veteran I am immediately channelled off into another direction. As this occurs the length and breadth of the Country there must have been a centralised decision to bar all Nuclear Veterans the ability to discover the degree of genetic damage caused whilst perfecting the Countries nuclear deterrent.

Under the Freedom of Information Act could you please supply the following information:

1.Could you please provide me with a copy of the instructions given to laboratories/ Health Authorities/ any other medical institutes to ensure all requests by nuclear veterans for a blood test using the 'FISH' technique is refused.

2. Can you please supply the date this instruction was given.

3. Who authorised the exclusion of Nuclear Veterans from obtaining this diagnostic treatment.

Yours faithfully,

Dave Whyte
