I understand the screening is for mental health issues that may be there and of course it would not be prescribed if that was the case. Mental health screening is very precarious. Many people do not acknowledge that they have mental health difficulties until a certain stage in their lives. That particular screening is fraught with difficulties.
Can the Minister confirm that the use of lariam is not cost related and is absolutely based on the best possible medical protection that can be given to members of the Defence Forces?
