There is no central data-base of referrals of members of the Defence Forces to medical consultants either at Defence Forces Headquarters, Brigade or Unit level. The record of a referral is maintained on the individual's file. Consequently, the information requested is not readily available and compiling it would require a disproportionate amount of resources.
