Regular visiting clinics will also be held at other military centres around the country.</p><p>Focussing on fewer but larger DCMHs will enable us to provide greater resilience and a more consistent range of clinical and operational capabilities, while the additional of MHTs will increase accessibility and provide a more robust support for delivery to Cyprus, the North West and Wales, as well as improving access for eligible reservists and veterans.</p> answering member constituency Milton Keynes North answering member printed Mark Lancaster question first answered 10/10/2016 14:46:35 answering member 1544 label Biography information for Lord Lancaster of Kimbolton
