<p>Mental healthcare and support is provided for all serving Armed Forces personnel,
both regulars and reserve, and resources are not specifically designated for a particular
operation. Because of the many ways in which mental healthcare is provided and funded,
it is not possible to provide a cost figure that covers all the numerous care streams,
which may include treatment by GPs in primary care facilities, out-patient treatment
in military Departments of Community Mental Health, and in-patient care in specialist
NHS units. <br><br>Responsibility for the delivery of healthcare to ex-Service personnel
rests with the NHS and Devolved Administrations. As part of the Government's 2011
mental health strategy, No Health Without Mental Health, over £7million in additional
funding has been made available over four years to help ensure that ex-Service personnel
with mental health problems also get the very best care.</p>
