		As a specialist in the field of public health, Dr Moonie is probably in a better position than most to address the health related questions that concern many veterans.
		The dictionary defines 'syndrome' as "A group of signs and symptoms that together are characteristic or indicative of a specific disease or other disorder." Given the fact that whatever is afflicting Gulf veterans cannot accurately be defined as a 'syndrome' as such; the opportunity arises to dismiss the matter.

	Paul Lewis Writing Archive - Daily Telegraph pieces (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		The Minister responsible for Veterans Affairs, Dr Lewis Moonie, told the House of Commons that the mistake could have begun as long ago as 1919 when the pensions paid to people who left the army on medical grounds were first exempted from tax.
		A four year investigation of army pension files has identified 1003 cases where compensation is due and all but 14 of those have been paid at a total cost of £6.5 million — around £6500 each on average.
		When the error was revealed in The Daily Telegraph last week, Dr Moonie said that the total costs of compensating people could be as high as £30 million, implying that there were still another 3500 veterans or their descendants to be found.
