HAND ARM VIBRATION SYNDROME

Early day motion 715, tabled 26 February 2004 by David Hamilton (Labour). Signed by 53 members.

That this House requests that the description and prescription of prescribed disease A11, Vibration White Finger, should be re-prescribed as hand arm vibration syndrome as this would include the vascular and the neurological effects of numbness, tingling, reduced tactile discrimination and loss of dexterity which are currently not included in the prescription.
