answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/09/2015 answer text <p>The provision of veterans' healthcare, including for those affected by post-traumatic stress disorder and depression, is primarily the responsibility of the National Health Service in England and the Devolved Administrations. Veterans in England, Scotland and Wales are entitled to priority access to secondary healthcare for conditions suspected to be due to their service in the Armed Forces, subject to the clinical needs of others.</p><p>In his March 2015 Budget, my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer announced that the Government would provide £8.4 million over the next five years to expand mental health services for veterans in England. This follows investment of over £7 million in the last Parliament. In addition, over £13 million from the LIBOR fund has been awarded to support mental health programmes in the Armed Forces Community.</p><p>The Ministry of Defence is determined to ensure that veterans who require help are provided with appropriate support including through the Veterans UK helpline; Veterans Welfare Service and the Veterans and Reserves Mental Health Programme (VRMHP) which provides mental health assessments for veterans with operational Service since 1982.</p> answering member constituency Milton Keynes North answering member printed Mark Lancaster question first answered 15/09/2015 15:06:31 answering member 1544 label Biography information for Lord Lancaster of Kimbolton
