[Guest guest]

Up to 211 children were given the test vaccines in Ireland in the 1960s

and 1970s. Now adults, the participants say the drugs were given without

parental consent and they have spent years trying to access their medical

files and pharmaceutical information from that time.

PARTICIPANTS in controversial vaccine trials in mother-and-baby homes

have been told by the Department of Health that it can’t give them their

medical files or any trial documentation as it is legally bound to return

the files to the drugs company.

The files are in the hands of the Laffoy Commission on Child Abuse, which

was forced to halt its vaccine trials investigation following a 2002

court case.

Last night, McVeigh of the commission confirmed that they were

" undertaking an examination of all documentation that they have and

cataloguing it " . She said no files have yet been returned to Glaxo

Kline.

A letter from the Department of Health to the Oireachtas Joint Committee

on Health and Children, seen by the Irish Examiner, states that the

department cannot hand over the documentation to the committee or to

participants as legally " it is not possible for that material to be

used for any other purpose " other than Laffoy Commission

investigations.

" In the circumstances, I understand from the commission that they

will be returning all documentation to the source that originally

provided it " , the letter read.

The vaccine trials will be discussed by the Joint Committee in private

tomorrow.

One of its members, Labour’s Kathleen Lynch, last night said the files

have to be handed to the people used in the trials, irrespective of

recent court rulings.

" I firmly believe the files must be given to victims as a human

right. But until they are handed over and until this is finalised, they

must be protected and must not be destroyed by any body or any

company, " she said.

Up to 211 children were given the test vaccines in Ireland in the 1960s

and 1970s. Now adults, the participants say the drugs were given without

parental consent and they have spent years trying to access their medical

files and pharmaceutical information from that time.

They are also seeking previously unseen files obtained by the Laffoy

Commission from medical companies.

The Laffoy Commission was investigating vaccine trials between 1940 and

1987 as part of a separate module. However, the commission’s

investigation was brought to a sudden halt after court action taken by

the doctors involved in the trials.

Last September, after it emerged that a woman now living in the US was

seeking to sue the Sacred Heart Order and Glaxo Kline about the

administration of the vaccines, the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Health

and Children decided to revisit the vaccine trials issue.

The committee wrote to Glaxo Kline seeking information on the

trials. The company said the documentation contained sensitive personal

information and they wouldn’t hand it over without judicial

order.
