Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what additional support services his Department is planning to provide for veterans with mental health problems from April 2017.
NHS England is currently in the process of tendering for a veterans mental health service to begin in April 2017. The service will offer consistent support across England for both veterans and serving personnel on a pathway to leave the service and build on the veterans mental health services already in place following the Fighting Fit report by my hon. Friend the Member for South West Wiltshire (Dr Andrew Murrison).
