I have explained that, to date, legal proceedings have been served against the Minister for Defence in five cases concerning prescription of Lariam. These claims are being managed by the State Claims Agency in conjunction with the Chief State Solicitor. Given the legal proceedings served, I will not comment further on any individual cases. I am personally unaware of any other potential cases.

The Deputy asked why the US forces have stopped using Lariam.
