Asked by: Dave Doogan (Scottish National Party - Angus and Perthshire Glens)

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what support his Department provides to children of armed forces personnel that have experienced PTSD.

Answered by Nadine Dorries

In England, children of armed forces personnel are supported by mainstream National Health Service mental health services.

They also have access to support via the veterans mental health Transition Intervention and Liaison Service and Complex Treatment Services, who offer health assessments and signposting to local services.

Written Question
Health Services: Veterans
Wednesday 18th March 2020

Asked by: Dave Doogan (Scottish National Party - Angus and Perthshire Glens)

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what processes his Department uses to monitory the adequacy of the provision of (a) support and (b) treatment for veterans.

Answered by Nadine Dorries

In England the National Health Service continuously reviews the services it provides. Veterans are able to access all mainstream NHS services as well as the dedicated veteran specific services NHS England and NHS Improvement have set up. The assurance and quality of all NHS services is undertaken by the Care Quality Commission.

As a result of this ongoing review and feedback from veterans, their families and Service Charities, NHS England and NHS Improvement established two dedicated veteran’s mental health services, Transition, Intervention and Liaison Service and the Complex Treatment Service. NHS England and NHS Improvement are also in the process of developing a High Intense Service to help those individuals nearing crisis.
