uin	76109
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/07/2020 answer text <p>Veteran mental health needs are very often no different to those of the general population. Research shows that suicide amongst former members of the Armed Forces remains extremely rare and is lower than comparative rates in the civilian population. The recording of suicides is a matter for coroners and recording of prior service is unlikely to help in attribution of cause of these tragic events.</p><p>The National Health Service in England has set up two tailored veterans’ mental health services: the Transition, Intervention and Liaison Service and the Complex Treatment Service. These services benefit from over £10 million per year investment and have collectively received over 10,000 referrals up to the end of 2019. A third tailored service, the forthcoming Veterans’ Mental Health High Intensity Service, will see even more investment and will provide crisis care and therapeutic inpatient support for those veterans who need urgent and emergency care.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Mid Bedfordshire answering member printed Ms Nadine Dorries question first answered 29/07/2020 12:49:12 answering member 1481 label Biography information for Ms Nadine Dorries previous answer version 40842 answering member constituency Mid Bedfordshire answering member printed Ms Nadine Dorries answering member 1481 label Biography information for Ms Nadine Dorries
