While personnel are screened for mental health and underlying issues, there are difficulties in detecting them. How can the Minister be sure the drug is being properly prescribed? As I stated, this medication has not been prescribed for serving members of the US defence dorces since 2009. Why do the Defence Forces continue using it? Are there alternatives that do not have the same side effects?
