The Ionising Radiation (Medical Exposure) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2000
These Regulations partially implement, as respects Northern Ireland, Council Directive 97/43/Euratom (O.J. No. L180. 9.797. p. 22) laying down basic measures for the health protection of individuals against dangers of ionising radiation in relation to medical exposure. The Regulations impose duties on those responsible for administering ionising radiation to protect persons undergoing medical exposure whether as part of their own medical diagnosis or treatment or as part of occupational health surveillance, health screening, voluntary participation in research or medico-legal procedures.
