Let me finish. Across the water in Britain, almost 2,000 British soldiers were given Lariam last year, with 14% treated for side effects. Since 2008, almost 1,000 people in Britain have been hospitalised in psychiatric facilities or treated in medical mental health facilities for side effects of Lariam. People want to know if its use will be ceased now and that treatment will come in the form of one of the other drugs. Publish the report promptly so we can get out of this nightmare for people.
