answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/06/2014 answer text <p>None of the meetings mentioned were convened by the Ministry of Defence (MOD). They were convened by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) as the lead Department, or by the Department for International Development on behalf of the FCO and thus it is they who may have a record of the meetings, the MOD has no record of any formal minutes. However the real output of these meetings was in the development of the UK's National Action Plan on Women, Peace and Security which was published by the Foreign Secretary on 12 June at the Global Summit on Preventing Sexual Violence in Conflict. This document is available from the FCO.</p> answering member constituency Broxtowe answering member printed Anna Soubry question first answered 19/06/2014 16:00:07 answering member 3938 label Biography information for Anna Soubry previous answer version 2380 answering member constituency Broxtowe answering member printed Anna Soubry answering member 3938 label Biography information for Anna Soubry

All of the recommendations of the ‘Fighting Fit' report, written by the now Minister for International Security Strategy (Dr Murrison), have been implemented.<br><br>Examples of initiatives taken forward under this Government include Structured Mental Health assessment as part of routine and discharge medicals; specialist follow-on treatment after discharge; the introduction of e-learning packages for clinicians, providing information and advice on the healthcare needs of the Armed Forces, their families and veterans; funding for the Combat Stress 24 hr Mental Health Helpline; and the introduction of the Big White Wall, providing Mental Health wellbeing services to serving personnel, their families and veterans.</p> answering member constituency Broxtowe answering member printed Anna Soubry question first answered 08/05/2014 12:00:00 answering member 3938 label Biography information for Anna Soubry previous answer version 9120 answering member constituency Broxtowe answering member printed Anna Soubry answering member 3938 label Biography information for Anna Soubry
