A Chance for Justice for UK Vets at Last?

Dr Chris Busby of Low Level Radiation Campaign, Shaun Rusling, Head of UK Gulf War Veterans body, Dr Malcolm Hooper, Gordon Pattison (Chief Scientific Adviser to the Red Cross) and Dr Peter van Calsterin expert on Mass Spectrometry at the Open University are on an independent panel to oversee the Ministry of Defence’s DU screening programme. The title of the Committee is the Ministry of Defence Oversight Committee – details can be found at www.mod.uk
These veteran representatives and scientists should have real input into the scientific procedures used to test Gulf War Veterans. They have already managed to move the debate away from just urine testing and into chromosome testing (See Prague Article)

Dr Busby, ebullient as ever called the fact that such individuals are on the committee a, ‘victory for the unwashed,’ It is a real opportunity for Gulf War Veterans to get tested properly for DU.
