Our own studies relevant to the suicide rate among veterans of the UK Armed Forces looked at deaths that occurred among veterans of the 1990/91 Gulf and veterans of the 1982 Falklands campaign. Both studies show that there was no excess in the rates of suicide in these groups of veterans and is lower than comparative rates in the civilian population.</p><p>The NHS in England and the Devolved Administrations are primarily responsible for the provision of healthcare, including mental healthcare, for veterans.</p><p>Veterans in England, Scotland and Wales receive priority access to NHS secondary care for Service-related conditions, subject to the clinical need of all patients. The Ministry of Defence also provides support through its Departments of Community Mental Health, and the Veterans and Reserves Mental Health Programme. In England, veterans and Service personnel approaching discharge benefit from the new NHS England transition, intervention and liaison (TIL) mental health service launched on 1 April 2017.</p><p>Veterans can also access support services from:</p><p>www.gov.uk/mental-health-support-for-the-uk-armed-forces or call the 24-hour veterans' mental health helpline on 0800 138 1619 or the Veterans Gateway:</p><p>https://www.veteransgateway.org.uk/</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 30/06/2017 13:05:34 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
