<p>HMG has recently announced an additional £5 million in funding to assist veteran
charities in addition to the £3 million already invested into mental health support
through NHS England’s Op Courage. This additional funding is provided with the aim
of ensuring that veterans are able to receive the support they may need. The OVA continues
to engage with other departments and external stakeholders, including charities to
deliver the Strategy for our Veterans and improve coordination of veterans’ work across
Government.</p><p>We are not prepared to comment on ongoing budget discussions during
this spending review period. However, the Office for Veterans' Affairs continues to
increase in size and capability, and is making progress in delivering the Strategy
for our Veterans. The Office for Veterans’ Affairs has all the necessary resources
and support from the rest of government to continue its work making the UK the best
place in the world to be a veteran.</p><p> </p>
