Armed Forces: Mental Health Services
Monday 21st December 2015

Asked by: Lord Dubs (Labour - Life peer)

Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they will consider providing a 24-hour mental health helpline for serving soldiers.

Answered by Earl Howe - Shadow Deputy Leader of the House of Lords

Combat Stress provides a free 24-hour service for the entire military community (Service personnel, veterans, and their families) when seeking confidential and safe help and advice about Service-related mental health issues. The MOD is the single biggest contributor of funding to Combat Stress.

In addition, the MOD has a contract with the Big White Wall, a 24-hour online community which provides safe, anonymous support to anyone struggling with mental health issues. It is free for all serving personnel, veterans, and their families.

There are no plans for MOD to provide an additional mental health helpline.
