Request

Dear MHRA, I am hoping you can provide an update to FOI 24/352 and whether any more incidents relating to the safety of performing MRI scans in patients with embolization coils and vascular plugs since this request was responded to. Could I please add to the request that I would like to request the incident details themselves, not simply the number of incidents up until the current date. I understand these details will have to be anonymised.
