answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/07/2017 answer text <p>The Government is fully aware of the importance of molybdenum-99 and the reliance on this medical radioisotope for diagnostic procedures in the National Health Service. The United Kingdom’s ability to import medical isotopes from Europe and the rest of the world will not be affected by withdrawal from Euratom. It is in everyone’s interest to not disrupt the timely access of treatment to patients and to ensure that cross-border trade with the European Union and Euratom is as frictionless as possible.</p> answering member printed Lord O'Shaughnessy question first answered 31/07/2017 13:38:56 answering member 4545 label Biography information for Lord O'Shaughnessy
