Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps he is taking to support armed forces veterans who are disabled or have a long-term health condition.

The NHS in England and the Devolved Administrations provide healthcare for all veterans, including those with disabilities and long-term health conditions. Specific services are in place to meet mental health and prosthetic needs.

For details of some of the most recent improvements the Government has made to ensure that seriously injured veterans receive the care and support they deserve I refer the hon. Member to the Written Ministerial Statement on ‘Veterans Healthcare’ I made on 13 July 2016 (HCWS86).

All veterans, including those who are disabled or have a long term health condition, are able to access the support offered by the Veterans UK helpline and website and the Veterans Welfare Service.
