Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many times did the NHS referred a member of the Armed Forces to Prevent in each year since 2018.

As statutory partners to the Prevent duty, healthcare professionals have a responsibility to refer patients and colleagues when there is a concern that the individual may be becoming radicalised. The Department does not hold data regarding individual referrals, as this data is collated and acted on by Counter Terrorism Policing.
