Veterans: General Practitioners
Asked by: Kevin Foster (Conservative - Torbay) Thursday 25th April 2024 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what data the Office for Veterans' Affairs holds on the number and proportion of veterans who have informed their GP that they served in the armed forces. Answered by Maria Caulfield The information requested is not held centrally. Integrated care boards are encouraged to work with health providers in their area, including general practice (GP) surgeries, to ensure patient needs are met. The 2024/25 GP contract will introduce a requirement that GPs must have due regard for the requirements, needs, and circumstances of Armed Forces Veterans, when offering services and making onward referrals. In addition, the Veteran Friendly GP Practices, launched in 2018, is a voluntary scheme which enables GPs to deliver the best possible care and treatment for veterans and their families, including signposting and referrals to specialist services. As of March 2024, 85% of primary care networks have a veteran-friendly accredited GP in their area, and 83% of acute trusts have been accredited as veteran-aware. |

WQ85783
Asked by: Rhys ab Owen (Independent Member - South Wales Central) Friday 22nd July 2022 Question Will the Minister provide an update following the statement by the Trefnydd on 14 June 2022 about the request for a four-nations meeting to discuss the UK's Rwanda asylum policy? Answered by Minister for Social Justice I am extremely disappointed to have yet to receive a response from the Minister for Safe and Legal Migration Kevin Foster to my joint letter of 19 May. I sent a follow up letter to this request on 21 July expressing our strong opposition to the UK Government’s policy to send asylum seekers to Rwanda and repeated my request for a four-nations meeting. The Welsh Government was not consulted about the UK Government’s policy to remove asylum seekers to Rwanda. We continue to express our disapproval at this policy, which is diametrically opposed to our Nation of Sanctuary approach here in Wales. |
