Gulf War Syndrome
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, which medical conditions his Department considers categorised under the term Gulf War Syndrome.
Answered by Al Carns
Gulf War Syndrome is an umbrella term which refers to a cluster of medically unexplained chronic symptoms reported by veterans of the 1991 Gulf War conflict. These symptoms vary widely between individuals and therefore there is no prescribed list of medical conditions/and or symptoms categorised under this umbrella term.
