The information requested is not held, as the Ministry of Defence (MOD) is not responsible for War Memorials. However, the UK National Inventory of War Memorials, maintained by the Imperial War Museum, lists over 50 memorials that are linked to the Gurkhas, including one which is situated outside the MOD headquarters building in Whitehall.<\/p>

The Commonwealth War Graves Commission commemorate all those Gurkhas who died in the two World Wars and the names of those who have died since the end of World War II, whilst on duty, are inscribed upon the Armed Forces Memorial at the National Memorial Arboretum.<\/p>

The Ministry of Defence (MOD) does not fund visits by veterans to return to sites of Remembrance. The long standing MOD policy on official commemorations is that only certain specific anniversaries of events of major importance receive MOD sponsorship at public expense.<\/p>

<\/p>

Funding is still available from the Big Lottery fund, Heroes Return 2 scheme, as long as veterans travel before 31 December 2015 and haven\u2019t benefited from this scheme since 1 January 2013. This scheme allows veterans to return to the theatre in which they saw action, so travel is not limited to Normandy.<\/p>

<\/p>

In addition, and as advised by my hon. Friend the Treasury Minister (David Gauke) in his response to Question 216388, the Royal British Legion (RBL) has been chosen to run the D-Day return scheme on the Government\u2019s behalf. As detailed on the RBL website, the D-Day return scheme will not fund independent travel.<\/p>

The Ministry of Defence promotes lifelong learning among members of the Armed Forces, and encourages this through the Learning Credits scheme.<\/p>

The Enhanced Learning Credits (ELC) scheme provides help towards the cost of higher-level learning and is funded by the single Services. Eligible personnel make a personal contribution of 20% of total course fees and can receive a single payment, in each of a maximum of three separate financial years, of up to £1,000 or £2,000 (depending on qualifying scheme membership) to cover up to a maximum of 80% of course fees. The ELC scheme helps members of the Armed Forces to pursue their personal development, both during their Service and for up to ten years afterwards, subject to the qualifying criteria being met.<\/p>

ELC claims must be for a course of study that is an integral part of, and results in, the cost effective achievement of a nationally recognised qualification at Level 3 (A level and equivalent) and above as defined by the Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF) (England and Wales), a Level 6 or above on the Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework (SCQF) or, if pursued overseas, an approved international equivalent higher level qualification. Post graduate level qualifications would thus be admissible, providing that they are nationally recognised as such.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3938", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Anna Soubry"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Broxtowe"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Anna Soubry"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2015-02-09", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2015-02-09T17:54:11.263Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "11"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Defence"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Defence"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2015-02-03", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Veterans: Postgraduate Education"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what support his Department offers to service leavers seeking to undertake postgraduate study.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4243", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Dan Jarvis"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Barnsley Central"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Dan Jarvis"} ], "uin" : "223252"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/176057", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Ministry of Defence"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/176057/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

Up to the end of FY2011-12, data was sourced from DCMH returns. From FY 2012-13 onwards, additional figures were obtained from the electronic patient record held on the Defence Medical Information Capability Programme (DMICP). DMICP records include mental healthcare treatment provided at other facilities, such as local military primary health centres.<\/p>

<\/p>

The MOD has compiled central records of personnel with mental health conditions since 2007. To identify mental health assessments prior to 2007 would require a search of individual medical records and would incur disproportionate cost.<\/p>

We take the mental health of our personnel very seriously, and are committed to ensuring that help is available for everyone who needs it. The Defence Medical Services (DMS) have in place a variety of measures to identify, assess and treat issues at the earliest possible opportunity.<\/p>

The effectiveness of these services is measured by a variety of formal processes. Our facilities are subject to regular Health Governance Assurance visits, from both internal Ministry of Defence (MOD) officials and independent external bodies such as the Healthcare Commission, in 2008, and its successor the Care Quality Commission, in 2011. Both of the latter organisations visited a representative selection of MOD's Departments of Community Mental Health (DCMHs), and reported favourably on the care and treatment which they provided.<\/p>

Internally, the DCMHs regularly undertake patient satisfaction surveys, and carry out audits of patient care to ensure that they adhere to the guidelines set out by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE). We also ensure that all staff are appropriately registered and subject to regular appraisals. We are always looking for ways to develop our governance processes, and recently devised mental health dashboards (in conjunction with Defence Statistics) to enable more effective analysis of individual patient data, including clinical improvement and occupational fitness.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3938", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Anna Soubry"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Broxtowe"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Anna Soubry"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2015-01-27", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2015-01-27T16:56:56.49Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "11"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Defence"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Defence"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2015-01-22", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Armed Forces: Mental Health Services"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment he has made of the effectiveness of the services currently available to military personnel suffering from mental illness.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4243", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Dan Jarvis"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Barnsley Central"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Dan Jarvis"} ], "uin" : "221805"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/174704", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Ministry of Defence"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/174704/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The UK Armed Forces have an internationally highly regarded and multi-layered submarine detection capability, primarily delivered through a combination of surface ships, submarines and anti-submarine helicopters, alongside close co-ordination and co-operation with our allies. As the global environment and threat capabilities constantly evolve, we continue to develop new detection capabilities in order to maintain our operational advantage.<\/p>

These capabilities are subject to regular audit and analysis. The Strategic Defence and Security Review 2015 will afford us the opportunity to review the full spectrum of submarine detection capability, including fixed wing Maritime Patrol Aircraft utility.<\/p>

I am withholding further details of our capabilities and programmes as disclosure would, or would be likely to, prejudice the capability, effectiveness or security of the Armed Forces.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3938", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Anna Soubry"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Broxtowe"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Anna Soubry"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2015-01-23", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2015-01-23T13:51:09.493Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "11"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Defence"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Defence"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2015-01-20", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Submarines"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps he is taking to ensure that the Royal Air Force and Royal Navy have sufficient submarine detection capabilities.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4243", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Dan Jarvis"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Barnsley Central"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Dan Jarvis"} ], "uin" : "221307"} ], "itemsPerPage" : 10, "next" : "http://eldaddp.azurewebsites.net/answeredquestions.text?answeringDeptShortName=Defence&tablingMemberPrinted.=Dan+Jarvis&_page=1&answer.answeringMemberConstituency=Broxtowe", "page" : 0, "startIndex" : 1, "totalResults" : 28, "type" : ["http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#ListEndpoint", "http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#Page"]} }
