gastroscopy and referenda ?

or maybe

Gastroscope

Thanks a lot, I had referenda as a possible but just couldn't get gastroscopy.

I have just completed the grid with the exception of one. 19d

referenda is correct as mamya said
refer + end +a

Gastroscope looks like it is the one, but i cannot make a word for 19d,

Concerned with the lubricant coming from the bore-hole I closed (5)

O?E?C

The 'c' comes from Gastroscope, providing it is correct.

sorry, posts crossed as I was typing. What did you get for 19d ?
