question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to the Armed Forces Pay Body Review Report 2018, page 20, paragraph 2.59, what plans his Department has to extend military medical and dental care to reserve personnel on Full Time Reserve Service.
tabling member constituency	Llanelli
tabling member printed	Nia Griffith
uin	168045
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/09/2018 answer text <p>Armed Forces personnel who are undertaking Full-Time Reserve Service (FTRS) on a Full Commitment basis are entitled to receive military healthcare and dental treatment. There are no current plans to extend this cover for those FTRS personnel who serve on a Limited Commitment or Home Commitment basis as Limited Commitment and Home Commitment FTRS have a limited liability to deploy away from their home locations, where they should already have access to such provision under the NHS. If personnel serving on Limited Commitment or Home Commitment were required to deploy on operations, they would first have to be mobilised, and they would then become entitled to receive military medical and dental care for the duration of their call-out and to treat any illness or injury attributable to their mobilised service.</p><p>All FTRS personnel may be treated by Service medical or dental staff in cases of emergency at their place of duty and are covered by Occupational Health. Occupational Health includes rehabilitation for injuries sustained during training.</p> answering member constituency South Staffordshire answering member printed Gavin Williamson question first answered 04/09/2018 15:06:58 answering member 4108 label Biography information for Sir Gavin Williamson

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to the Armed Forces Pay Body Review Report 2018, page 34, paragraph 3.45, what plans his Department has to re-examine the policy of Recruitment and Retention Payments being completely removed upon a member of Service personnel submitting their notice to terminate.

tabling member printed	Nia Griffith
uin	168047
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/09/2018 answer text <p>There are no current plans to change the policy. The purpose of the Recruitment and Retention Payment (RRP) is to encourage personnel to join and/or remain in Service within specific trades.</p><p> </p><p>Removing payment when a Service person submits their notice to terminate ensures that valuable resources can be most effectively used in incentivising personnel to remain in the Armed Forces. In the event that personnel submit their notice of termination, RRP payments are no longer fulfilling their purpose as an incentive and are therefore removed.</p> answering member constituency South Staffordshire answering member printed Gavin Williamson question first answered 04/09/2018 15:04:56 answering member 4108 label Biography information for Sir Gavin Williamson
