Q fever patients to appeal

the hague - Nearly three hundred Q-fever patients liable to the government for their disease, appeal to the Court against a judgment of the court in The Hague trial.

The court ruled in January that the State did not act unlawfully and his duty had not failed in providing information about Q fever. The measures taken were sufficient.

According to Luc Rohof, one of the lawyers of the Q-fever patients, it puts patients in particular that the court ruled that they could based on information from the RIVM know where were infected goat farms. 'On the site of the RIVM was a ticket. Then RIVM gave afterwards the number of reported cases per municipality, but not the source of infection, 'says Rohof.
