Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many calls the Military Mental Health Helpline has received from people who joined the army aged (a) 16, (b) 17, (c) 18, and (d) over 18 since that helpline was launched.
Since its launch on 25 February 2018, the Combat Stress 24-hour Mental Health Helpline has received 571 calls (as of 18 Jun 2018).
Callers to the helpline are not asked at what age they joined the Armed Forces and therefore this data is not captured.
