uin	50620
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/10/2016 answer text <p>No assessment has been made of the effectiveness of prioritising National Health Service treatment for Armed Forces veterans. Priority treatment for veterans relates to health requirements resulting from their time in the Armed Forces and is subject to clinical needs of others. Decisions are therefore made on an individual basis and subject to the clinical judgement of those involved. We are working with the Royal British Legion to consider what more can be done to raise awareness of the priority treatment process for veterans with service related health needs.</p> answering member constituency Warrington South answering member printed David Mowat question first answered 31/10/2016 16:32:10 answering member 4080 label Biography information for David Mowat

This is why there should be flexibility around age boundaries, in which transition is based on individual circumstances, rather than absolute age, with joint working and shared practice between services to promote continuity of care.</p><p> </p><p>The core delivery mechanism in making <em>Future in Mind </em>happen is the system-wide, publicly available local transformation plans (LTPs) that cover the full spectrum of need for children and young people who have existing or emerging mental health problems, and which includes transitions between services.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>NHS England conducted a qualitative study of LTPs which was published in August 2016. This focussed on a number of issues including transition from CAMHS to adult mental health services.
