Medical support to any deployed operation is absolutely vital, and British forces in the Gulf have access to a wide range of high quality medical care, the majority of which is provided by UK Defence Medical Services.Specifically, there are three levels of Medical Treatment Facility (MTF) available to the British forces in the Gulf. These are:Role 1—Primary health care, specialised first aid, triage, resuscitation and stabilisation.In addition to the organic role 1 facilities within the deployed elements, there is also a facility at Basra air station with additional strategic, tactical and immediate response teams components deployed.Health care providers also give basic occupational medicine and preventative medical advice including:"primary dental care;""basic laboratory testing;""initial stress management."Role 2—Reception and triage of casualties, and resuscitation and treatment of shock to a higher level than role 1 MTFs.May include damage control surgery and a short term holding facility for casualties until they can be returned to duty or evacuated. Can be enhanced to include primary surgery (PS), intensive care unit (ICU), and medium and low dependency nursing care beds (MLDs). May also cover:"preventative medicine; operational stress management, psychiatry or psychology;""diagnostic imaging and tele-medicine;""patient evacuation co-ordination;""GeneralMedicine;""Genito-urinary medicine."There are role 2 facilities at Al Amarah and Al Muthanna; the latter has Australian medical personnel supporting UK personnel.Role 3—Deployed hospitalisation and associated support elements including PS, ICU, MLDs, diagnostic support and mission tailored clinical specialities for emergency medical care.The holding capacity allows for beds for the sick and injured, diagnosis and treatment of patients who may return to duty within the Joint Operations Area (JOA), within the constraints of the Theatre Holding Policy. Role 3 facilities reinforce those of roles 2 and control or give ready-access to Medical Evacuation (MEDEVAC) assets. These may include:"Specialist surgery (neuro-surgery, maxillo-facial, burns);""Advanced and specialist diagnostic capabilities to support clinical specialists (CT scan, arthroscopy, sophisticated laboratory tests);""Major medical, nursing specialities (internal medicine, neurology, intensive care, ophthalmology);""Primary dental care."The MOD has a role 3 field hospital at Shaibah logistics base, which is currently supported by a Czech surgical team. This has the additional capability of a theatre dental team, a mental health team, two aeromedical evacuation liaison officers (AELO), and a detachment of 84 Medical Supply Squadron.Other deployed facilities include:"Environmental health technicians, deployed throughout the area of responsibility;""AELO/primary health care nurse based in Baghdad;""Medical admin primary health care/aeromed evacuation co-ord in Muharraq and Seeb;""Primary health care nurse/AELO in Al Udeid."Other troop contributing nations provide facilities which, if necessary, our troops can access. Similarly, other nations can access our facilities.

Does my right hon. Friend share my anger and concern at the fake photographs published in the Daily Mirror that put British service personnel's lives at risk? And yet, we find that nobody is guilty and nobody is going to be charged in court; the whole thing seems to have been swept under the carpet. What can he do to put this matter right and to restore some credibility to the British justice system?

I entirely agree with my hon. Friend. This Thursday's elections will be a huge step forward for the people of Iraq, the country of Iraq and the middle east as a whole. Despite all of the threats, 8.5 million people turned out in January, 10.5 million people turned out in October and 15 million people are now registered. I only hope that the people of this country pay attention on Thursday to what the overwhelming majority of Iraqis are saying by coming out to use their new-found freedoms in the same way as some commentators in this country continually pay attention to the minority who are attempting to destroy Iraqi democracy and Iraqi lives.

I thank my right hon. Friend for that answer. Does he agree that this Thursday's elections will further marginalise the violent forces and increase the prospects of victory and of liberation by Iraqi democrats, especially the new trade unions, which need solidarity from the international community and the British Labour movement, including groups such as Labour Friends of Iraq?

I do not have any estimate of those companies' contribution to the overall security situation, which primarily lies in the hands of the multinational forces, who are handing over to Iraqi forces. Iraqi forces are increasingly becoming trained, capable and able to take over leadership on security, which they will do on Thursday of this week, and they are the people who will ultimately play the major role. The multinational divisions or any private companies who are temporarily providing a degree of security will remove themselves from Iraq as soon as the Iraqi security forces and the democratically elected Government of Iraq want it to happen.
