	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/07/2014 answer text <p>The Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham is the primary reception hospital for Armed Forces personnel seriously injured on operations. Its state-of-the-art facilities, operating in partnership with the NHS, offer personnel the best possible care. Once sufficiently healed, most then start a rehabilitation programme at the Defence Medical Rehabilitation Centre (DMRC) at Headley Court, which provides acute medical rehabilitation across the spectrum of injury from sports, exercise and accidents to more serious neurological conditions and complex trauma casualties. <br><br>When discharged from the DMRC, further rehabilitation might then be provided at one of 15 Regional Rehabilitation Units. In addition, the Defence Recovery Capability, a Ministry of Defence (MOD) led initiative in partnership with Help for Heroes, The Royal British Legion and other Service charities and agencies, ensures that wounded, injured and sick personnel have access to the key services and resources needed to help them either return to duty or make a smooth transition into an appropriately skilled civilian life.<br><br>While the Chavasse Report is not specifically focused on the medical rehabilitation of injured personnel, the MOD is nonetheless broadly supportive of its recommendations, which make a number of proposals to deliver timely access to quality NHS elective orthopaedic care for both serving and former members of the Armed Forces.<br><br>The Defence Medical Services is committed to working in partnership with NHS England and the Devolved Administrations, and will continue to do so when considering the proposals of the report.</p> answering member constituency Broxtowe answering member printed Anna Soubry question first answered 10/07/2014 13:58:41 answering member 3938 label Biography information for Anna Soubry
