	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/05/2014 answer text <p>The Ministry of Defence was grateful to the noble Lord, Lord Ashcroft for conducting what proved to be a very useful survey of the attitudes of the public and the Armed Forces towards each other. While there were many positive findings, of particular concern was the perception amongst a majority of the public that veterans would have physical or mental problems as a result of service. Lord Ashcroft described this as ‘not only untrue, but damaging'.<br><br>The 2012 survey provided valuable insight into the relationship between the Armed Forces and the nation they serve. This relationship is at the heart of the Armed Forces Covenant, which we published in May 2011. A great deal has been achieved through this mechanism in the last few years across a wide range of areas, including healthcare, accommodation, education, and welfare.<br><br>We will go on looking at what more we can do for our Armed Forces, their families, and Veterans, to ensure that they continue to receive the recognition they deserve, and if necessary, whatever help they may require.</p> answering member constituency Broxtowe answering member printed Anna Soubry question first answered 08/05/2014 12:00:00 answering member 3938 label Biography information for Anna Soubry

These include structured mental health assessments at routine and discharge medicals; access to military Departments of Community Mental Health for six months after discharge; tailored NHS mental health services; funding for the Combat Stress 24 hour Mental Health Helpline; and the introduction of the Big White Wall, providing mental health wellbeing services to serving personnel, their families and veterans.<br><br>The Veterans Information Service makes contact with recent service leavers to make them aware of mental health and other support available in the community. <br><br>For serving personnel, the Defence Medical Services (DMS) have introduced a range of measures to identify issues at the earliest possible opportunity.

Away from deployed operations, our mental health services are configured to provide community-based mental healthcare in line with national best practice, through both unit-based primary health centres and our network of 16 military Departments of Community Mental Health across the UK (plus centres overseas). Inpatient care, when required, is available through a contract with a group of eight specialist NHS Trusts across the UK.
