Op RESTORE is a bespoke physical health and wellbeing service, commissioned by NHS England, which supports individuals who have served in, or are leaving, the British Armed Forces and have physical health injuries and related medical problems attributed to their time in the armed forces.<\/p>
NHS England also commissioned Op COURAGE, which is the comprehensive veterans\u2019 mental health and wellbeing service. Access to Op COURAGE is via referral or by direct contact from veterans. A campaign to raise awareness of Op COURAGE launched on 9 January 2024.<\/p>
In addition, The National Rehabilitation Centre (NRC), which is part of the Government\u2019s New Hospital Programme, is a new 70-bed facility which will benefit all patients, including veterans.

The Seasonal Worker scheme operators are responsible for managing all aspects of the recruitment and placement of workers on UK farms and ensuring their welfare in the UK. This includes ensuring ethical recruitment practices, in line with Gangmasters and Labour Abuse Authority regulations; arranging a new employer if the worker requires it; and ensuring that workers are fully supported throughout their stay.<\/p>
The Home Office closely monitors the scheme operators to ensure they are complying with their sponsor duties. Together with Defra, the Home Office also maintains regular contact with operators to ensure they adhere to requirements for ensuring the safety and wellbeing of seasonal workers. Non-compliance with the relevant guidance could result in the revocation of their sponsor licence.<\/p>
Scheme operators must also be licensed by the Gangmasters and Labour Abuse Authority who, supported by the Home Office, are working with overseas agencies to prevent abuse of the system and educate workers about their rights in the UK, including not paying recruitment fees.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4950", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Murray of Blidworth"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lord Murray of Blidworth"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2022-11-22", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2022-11-22T12:52:31.297Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2022-11-16", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Seasonal Workers"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have (1) to assist seasonal workers whose contracts are terminated early, (2) to prevent brokerage fees from being levied in seasonal workers' home countries, and (3) to support unemployed seasonal workers to find work in agricultural labour jobs or other sectors.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4719", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Baroness Bennett of Manor Castle"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Baroness Bennett of Manor Castle"} ], "uin" : "HL3444"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1363777", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department of Health and Social Care"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1363777/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

From 2015 to 2016 DFID provided £500,000 to UNFPA through our Rakhine Humanitarian programme to maintain coordination services and strengthen gender-based violence preventative and response initiatives in crisis affected areas of Rakhine State, which included the Rohingya community. DFID is currently providing a nationwide £400,000 grant to UNFPA in Myanmar through our health programme to provide technical support on maternal mortality death surveillance and response. This includes work by UNFPA to support the Maternal and Reproductive Division of the Ministry of Health and the Rakhine State Health Department to review, analyse and disseminate findings to tackle maternal mortality amongst all communities in Rakhine, including the Rohingya.<\/p>

The UK has committed £256 million in funding to the Rohingya response in Bangladesh since August 2017.

The GOV.UK website contains an indicative programme of the £2.5 billion capital funding to be invested on improving flood defences in the six years between 2015 and 2021. In the first year of the programme up to March 2016 £391 million was spent.<\/p>
<\/p>
The programme is live and periodically updated to reflect the changing nature of scheme costs. As examples, two reasons to update the programme could include changes to local flood modelling revealing there would be no benefit to a flood scheme and early partnership funding being secured allowing schemes to be accelerated.<\/p>

We support several moderate opposition groups in Syria who we would want to see involved in a political process. We define these groups in terms of ideology and tactics: moderates are liberal, secular or Islamist in their political outlook, call for a wider pluralistic system that respects the rights of all Syrians and reject terrorism and terrorist tactics, for example by seeking to protect civilians from harm and to prevent abuses. Several moderate opposition groups refer to themselves as being part of the Free Syrian Army.
