<p>The provision of mental health services for veterans is a matter for the Department
of Health and therefore no such estimate has been undertaken. <br><br>You will be

of mental health conditions by NHS England. I also understand that the Scottish Government
has set a target for the NHS in Scotland to deliver a maximum 18 week wait from referral
to treatment for Psychological therapies from December 2014.</p>
