Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether nuclear test veterans whose health data is incomplete should submit subject access requests to his Department to recover this information.

Nuclear test veterans are entitled to use the existing subject access request process to apply for their records. Medical records, if available, will be released as part of that process, however it is not possible to determine exactly what information or records will be yielded until searches are conducted following receipt of an individual’s request.
