I propose to take Questions Nos. 1726 and 1727 together.

I have been advised by the military authorities that the number of Malarone and Doxycycline tablets purchased each year from 2006 to 2013, is as follows:

Malarone:

2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013
Total purchased 3,120 11,232 0 1,728 2,304 1,416 1,632 360

Doxycycline:

2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013
Total purchased 10,400 11,200 0 8,000 8,800 110 5,520 3,840

In relation to the number of Doxycycline and Malarone tablets in stock at year end from 2006 to 2013, the military authorities have advised me that, due to the complexity of this task and the staffing resources required, it is regretted that it is not possible to provide this information.
