answer text <p>The majority of aircrew training delivered through the UK Military Flying Training System continues to meet Defence demand and progress. Regarding the specific issue of Rotary Wing Aircrew training recently covered by the media, I can assure you that a stepped recovery plan is in place and being implemented to ensure that the UK Military Flying System continues to deliver the number of Rotary Wing aircrew needed by Defence. Defence is closely engaging with Industry partners to resolve the issue and there is no impact to the number of tri-service aircrew commencing Operational Conversion Unit training or Operational duties.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Government launched the Strategic Defence Review (SDR) to ensure we have the military capabilities needed to protect the United Kingdom now and in the future. The SDR will consider all aspects of Defence, including opportunities for modernisation, transformation, and greater productivity through the rapid and consistent application of Digital Age technologies. The SDR will review current modernisation plans and make recommendations on where the UK should focus our investment in equipment and technology.</p><p> </p><p>At the same time, we are continuing to deliver modernised equipment and technology for the Armed Forces, as shown by the recent arrival of more F-35 stealth aircraft into UK service, and the launch of the 6th of the Astute class of advanced Hunter-Killer submarines, HMS AGAMEMNON. We also continue to invest in cutting edge science, technology, and innovation shown through the department's core Science and Technology programme and the Innovation Fund.</p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p>The Ministry of Defence (MOD) is committed to the mental health and wellbeing of our Armed Forces personnel and veterans. The MOD works with stakeholders including the single Services and Defence Medical Services (DMS) to promote mental fitness, resilience and reduce stigma.</p><p> </p><p>For those personnel requiring medical intervention the Defence Medical Services (DMS) provide a responsive, flexible, accessible and comprehensive treatment service. The DMS is reshaping mental health provision to reduce waiting lists, improve timelines for patient recovery and refocus on earlier intervention. This will provide a single point of access for specialist mental health networks allowing quicker access to initial assessment and earlier allocation to the right treatment pathway. DMS is increasing access to resources and online therapy to improve the care offered by GPs.</p><p> </p><p>Several non-medical interventions across Defence complement medical services, including key MOD initiatives such as the Defence Senior Leaders Mental Fitness and Resilience course (SLMFR), HeadFIT and the Annual Mental Fitness Brief (AMFB). Additionally, each of the single Services provide through career mental health and stress management training.</p><p> </p><p>NHS England has several bespoke services and initiatives to meet the needs of our Armed Forces community including Op COURAGE, the Veterans Mental Health, and Wellbeing Service, which provides an integrated mental health care pathway for veterans. Since its inception in April 2017, there have been over 38,500 referrals to Op COURAGE.</p><p> </p><p>There are some veterans who prefer to access mainstream NHS services, for example NHS Talking Therapies. In addition to Op COURAGE services, between 1 April 2020 and 30 June 2024, 63,810 veterans have entered NHS Talking Therapy treatment services.</p><p> </p>

answer text <p>Attempted suicide is not a definition used for the collection of data by the Ministry of Defence. Statistics are collected about self-harm in line with the Office for National Statistics’ definition of a deliberate intent to inflict damage or alter oneself which does not result in death. This includes incidents of self-injury and self-poisoning but excludes those with thoughts of self-harm or suicidal ideation.</p><p> </p><p> </p> more like this
