	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/10/2022 answer text <p>It is mandatory for all Armed Forces personnel to have a Structured Mental Health Assessment at their discharge medical examination. This will highlight any unknown mental health needs and enable signposting and referral where necessary. This may be to NHS services such as OP COURAGE which provides a complete mental healthcare pathway for service leavers in England with similar services in other parts of the UK or to a MOD Department of Community Mental Health, where an individual can access mental healthcare for six months following their discharge.</p><p>More broadly, all Armed Forces personnel who are unable to undertake normal duties, (including those wounded, injured or sick) will enter the Defence Recovery Capability. Each of the Armed Forces has a Recovery Pathway that optimises an individual's recovery or transition to civilian life. This is underpinned by an Individual Recovery Plan. Factors within the Plan are assessed using the HARDFACTS criteria: Health, Accommodation, Relocation, Drugs/Alcohol/Stress, Finance, Attitude, Children and Family, Training, Resettlement, Employment and Support Agencies. Consequently, any Service person in a Recovery Pathway will receive an ongoing holistic assessment by their Personal Recovery Officer, regardless of whether the individual is medically discharged or leaves Service by another mechanism.</p><p>The Veterans Welfare Service and Defence Transition Service are both components of Veterans UK. These services deliver additional support to Service leavers with enduring welfare needs and those vulnerable personnel on a casework model following discharge.</p> answering member constituency South West Wiltshire answering member printed Dr Andrew Murrison question first answered 31/10/2022 17:43:32 answering member 1466 label Biography information for Dr Andrew Murrison
