Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many patients are registered as veterans in England.
The Department does not maintain a running total of the number of patients receiving care across the full range of health services at any one time, and is not therefore in a position to say how many are registered veterans. However, NHS England has introduced several bespoke services to improve healthcare support available to veterans. This includes Op RESTORE, Op COURAGE, and Op NOVA.
