question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what recent assessment he has made of the potential effect of recording of veteran suicide on the ability to tailor mental health services to ex-service personnel.
tabling member constituency	Portsmouth South
tabling member printed	Stephen Morgan
uin	76109
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/07/2020 answer text <p>Veteran mental health needs are very often no different to those of the general population. Research shows that suicide amongst former members of the Armed Forces remains extremely rare and is lower than comparative rates in the civilian population. The recording of suicides is a matter for coroners and recording of prior service is unlikely to help in attribution of cause of these tragic events.</p><p>The National Health Service in England has set up two tailored veterans’ mental health services: the Transition, Intervention and Liaison Service and the Complex Treatment Service. These services benefit from over £10 million per year investment and have collectively received over 10,000 referrals up to the end of 2019. A third tailored service, the forthcoming Veterans’ Mental Health High Intensity Service, will see even more investment and will provide crisis care and therapeutic inpatient support for those veterans who need urgent and emergency care.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Mid Bedfordshire answering member printed Ms Nadine Dorries question first answered 29/07/2020 12:49:12 answering member 1481 label Biography information for Ms Nadine Dorries previous answer version 40842 answering member constituency Mid Bedfordshire answering member printed Ms Nadine Dorries answering member 1481 label Biography information for Ms Nadine Dorries

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/07/2020 answer text <p>Veteran mental health needs are very often no different to those of the general population. Data has shown that most patients suffer from common mental health conditions such as depression and anxiety and readily make use of the mainstream mental health services provided throughout the United Kingdom. Research shows that suicide amongst former members of the Armed Forces remains extremely rare and is lower than comparative rates in the civilian population.</p><p>NHS England and NHS Improvement are aware of concerns amongst the Armed Forces community that individuals may be differentially disadvantaged as waiting lists lengthen due to COVID-19 constraints. We have no evidence that this will be the case.</p><p>More generally, National Health Service local systems and organisations are stepping up non-COVID-19 services as soon as possible. The approach is being flexed at local level according to capacity and demand in different parts of the country, but the reset will be gradual, with full attention to infection prevention and control as the guiding principle.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Mid Bedfordshire answering member printed Ms Nadine Dorries question first answered 29/07/2020 10:40:52 answering member 1481 label Biography information for Ms Nadine Dorries
