Veterans: Suicide
(asked on 3rd February 2020) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Defence:
What recent assessment he has made of the potential effect of recording veteran suicides on improving the provision of support to at-risk veterans.
This question was answered on 3rd February 2020
I am always sorry to learn of veterans taking their own lives and I am willing to meet widows with the aim of better understanding the circumstances that lead to suicide to facilitate better targeted interventions and how we can prevent further losses. Suicide is a complicated issue and a tragedy for the families and friends left behind.
