<p>Veterans are able to receive care through all NHS services and are also able to
receive priority treatment for conditions relating to their service. In addition to
mainstream services, Veterans can also access specific services such as the Veterans
Trauma Network. Veterans are able to access high quality clinically appropriate prosthetic
limbs from the National Health Service. Nine NHS prosthetic centres are in place to
provide enhanced services for veterans.</p><p>In addition to these services, a new
package of support for seriously wounded armed forces personnel was launched on 29
March 2019, the Integrated Personal Commissioning for Veterans Framework (IPC4V).
This new pathway will ensure that individuals with very complex and enduring healthcare
requirements transitioning out of the military into civilian life will continue to
receive comprehensive support.</p><p>The above services (as well as some for mental
health needs) are commissioned and paid for by NHS England, whereas the devolved administrations
have their own arrangements for providing care to veterans.</p><p>The health needs
of serving personnel are dealt with by the Defence Medical Services.</p>
