The Government is fully committed to delivering for veterans as an integral part of our Armed Forces community. The Secretary of State for Defence will represent veterans at Cabinet, and as the Minister for Veterans and People I will look at the best ways to ensure veterans and their families get access to the health, housing, employment and other support they need. Our focus is on improving outcomes for veterans and delivering for those who serve our nation, and we believe this work will be strengthened by bringing the Office for Veterans Affairs under the Ministry of Defence.<\/p>"}
