Public Inquiry Into Air Related Deep Vein Thrombosis
EDM number 192 in 2001-02, proposed by John P Smith on 18/07/2001.
That this House, in response to the growing public awareness and concern about the number of premature deaths and serious illnesses caused by deep vein thrombosis in air travellers; notes the devastating consequences of previous delays in tackling emergent public health hazards such as BSE, asbestosis and smoking-related diseases; further notes the apparent reluctance of airline companies to undertake or co-operate with research into this debilitating and often fatal condition of issue advice on precautions that could be taken to minimise the risk of contracting it; acknowledges the growing body of medical opinion linking DVT to air travel including claims that as many as 10 per cent. of long-haul air travellers develop blood clots; accepts that the full extent of the problem is still unknown but recognises the absence of any regulatory body with responsibility for the health of airline passengers; and therefore calls upon Her Majesty's Government, as a matter of urgency, to undertake a full public inquiry into the incidence and cause of deep vein thrombosis in air travellers before any more lives are lost unnecessarily.
