	Vaccine-trial Files "Not Missing': Department of Health Irish Examiner August 23 2010 http://www.irishexaminer.com/breakingnews/ireland/vaccine-trial-files-not-missing-department-of-health-470210.html The Department of Health has issued a statement to say that files relating to controversial child vaccine trials are not missing. Former residents of orphanages and mother-and-baby homes are calling on the Government to publish all files relating to the trials. At least 211 children in orphanages and mother-and-baby homes took part in four-in-one vaccine trials in the 1960s and 1970s. The Laffoy commission on Child Abuse was to investigate what happened but that investigation was dropped following court action taken by the medical practitioners involved. The details of the trials are not known, nor whether the drugs had any long-term effects on the individuals involved. A number of people affected are to take legal action against the drugs company involved and many more are calling for all information related to the trials to be published. In a statement this morning, the Department said the files are not stored in the offices of the Department in Hawkins House but in a secure offsite storage facility. The Department moved to retrieve the files yesterday and said today that the files would be examined once they have been retrieved.
