Mr. Gardiner: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what the British army is doing to restore the medical distribution network
in Iraq. [117057]
Mr. Caplin: United Kingdom forces are working with the local health authority and Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) to re-stock
the central Basrah warehouse, from which drugs and pharmaceuticals were supplied before the war. They have also provided security
for the warehouse and for deliveries to local medical facilities. These medical facilities have been visited on a regular basis. UK
forces are also working with the World Health Organisation (WHO) and NGOs to correct any deficiencies there might be in drugs for
chronic illnesses. Along with the WHO, we are monitoring humanitarian donations ensuring that they are appropriate and properly
used. The Office of the Provisional Coalition Authority in Baghdad intends to reintroduce routine re-supply in the near future.
