We take the mental health of our personnel and veterans very seriously, and the Government has invested £7.4 million to improve the mental health services available and ensure help is available for everyone who needs it. The Government has implemented all of the recommendations of the \u2018Fighting Fit' report, written by the now Minister for International Security Strategy the Under-Secretary of State for Defence, (Dr Murrison). These include structured mental health assessments at routine and discharge medicals; access to military Departments of Community Mental Health for six months after discharge; tailored NHS mental health services; funding for the Combat Stress 24 hour Mental Health Helpline; and the introduction of the Big White Wall, providing mental health wellbeing services to serving personnel, their families and veterans.

The Veterans Information Service makes contact with recent service leavers to make them aware of mental health and other support available in the community.

For serving personnel, the Defence Medical Services (DMS) have introduced a range of measures to identify issues at the earliest possible opportunity. These include pre-and post-deployment briefing and the availability of support, assessment and (if required) treatment, both during and after deployments, as well as peer-group mentoring through Trauma Risk Management. Away from deployed operations, our mental health services are configured to provide community-based mental healthcare in line with national best practice, through both unit-based primary health centres and our network of 16 military Departments of Community Mental Health across the UK (plus centres overseas). Inpatient care, when required, is available through a contract with a group of eight specialist NHS Trusts across the UK. The DMS does not allocate a specific budget for mental healthcare, but provides appropriate care and treatment for all those who require it.<\/p>

I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave on 16 June 2014, (Official Report, column 364W) to the hon. Member for Stretford and Urmston (Kate Green).

Reservists are treated exactly the same as regulars in terms of operational training and support while mobilised, including access to the same welfare support and medical treatment through the Defence Medical Services (DMS). They are retained in service and will receive treatment and rehabilitation until they are medically assessed as having reached a steady state of fitness, at which point they will be demobilised. If they have continuing healthcare needs following demobilisation, they will be taken through a transition from military to NHS care. Reservists who are medically discharged as a result of injuries sustained during deployment are also entitled to resettlement training and to the same range of services available to regular veterans. Where service is the only or main cause of injury or illness, members or former members of the reserve forces may qualify for awards under the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme (AFCS).

The level and quality of post-operational support provided to injured mobilised reservists is exactly the same as that provided to regulars, with full access to all the facilities and expertise provided under the Army Recovery Capability, and it is a level of support of which the Army and the Ministry of Defence are extremely proud.

Following the Reserves 2020 White Paper, which proposed improvements to occupational health provision to ensure consistent access to these services for all reservists, the MOD committed to extending DMS occupational health provision to non-mobilised reservists. Rehabilitation services are also being extended to members of the reserve forces who are injured during reserve training. This is in addition to the procedure in place since 2006, whereby reservists can obtain DMS mental health treatment through the Veterans and Reserves Mental Health Programme. Implementation of the new measures started in April 2014.<\/p>

The UK is one of just four NATO nations to spend 2 per cent or more of gross domestic product on Defence. On current plans, defence spending will continue to meet the 2 per cent target for the current Spending Review period. Decisions on public spending after 2015-16 will be made in the next Spending Review.
