<p>This is a Government of service that will always stand up for those who have served
our country. I am leading work across Government and with civil society to ensure
veterans and their families get access to the health, housing, employment and other
support they need, across the whole of the United Kingdom.</p><p> </p><p>In Northern
Ireland, the Veterans Welfare Service provides information and practical support to
veterans and their families, including timely physiotherapy and psychological therapies
to eligible veterans. The Defence Medical Welfare Service pilot supports veterans’
health and wellbeing in Northern Ireland and provides insight that will improve our
understanding of veterans’ health needs. Veterans in need of housing advice can contact
the Government's single housing support pathway, Op FORTITUDE, where a dedicated team
of advisers work to assist veterans across the UK.</p>
