	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/09/2017 answer text <p>The Better Defence Estates Strategy aims to enhance military capability; this includes providing good training facilities. Gamecock Barracks is currently optimised for a different capability but the future collocation there of medical units will create opportunities to deliver the required training facilities. Gamecock Barracks is much closer to the specialist defence medical centres in Birmingham and Lichfield and so also provides better synergies in terms of training delivery and continuity of skills for Army medical personnel. Relocation of medical units to locations close to these centres brings a number of additional benefits, including enabling greater stability for Service families by reducing the mobility requirement for Service personnel.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 05/09/2017 15:04:01 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
