answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/11/2018 answer text <p>The RAF is a key contributor to the UK's prosperity agenda by facilitating the GREAT campaign's targeted commercial and wealth generating activities within designated countries which for the 2019 tour will be the US and Canada. The £2.5 billion is an estimate based on previous tours. It is too early to provide the names of companies we expect to provide foreign direct investment as agreements have still to be reached.</p> answering member printed Earl Howe question first answered 22/11/2018 15:11:26 answering member 2000 label Biography information for Earl Howe

uin	HL11418
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/11/2018 answer text <p>This Government wants to continue to support veterans and to do more, which is why on 14 November 2018 we published the Strategy for our Veterans (Cm 9726) and supporting UK Government Consultation Paper (Cm 9727) that outlines what we aim to do and consults on how we will achieve it. The full documents can be found at the following link:</p><p><strong>https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/strategy-for-our-veterans. </strong></p><p> </p><p>By 2028 we will be doing more to ensure that each veteran is valued, contributing and supported. One of our aims is that all veterans enjoy a state of positive physical and mental health and wellbeing, enabling them to contribute to wider aspects of society. In order to achieve this outcome, we will focus our efforts on enabling consistency of medical outcomes for veterans, through a smooth transition of provision from in-Service to post-Service and sharing effective practices amongst clinical and healthcare communities; providing bespoke treatment for those veterans who have bespoke needs because of their service, and targeting any identified health and wellbeing needs of veterans in comparison to the general population.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Veterans’ health is broadly aligned with that of the rest of the general population and most veterans’ health requirements are sufficiently met by existing NHS provision. However, several tailored initiatives are already in place to cater for specific veteran needs, including priority access to NHS secondary care in England, Scotland and Wales for Service related conditions, subject to the clinical need of all patients. Further work is also ongoing to increase awareness of the Armed Forces Covenant within the NHS, such as the Royal College of General Practitioners Accreditation programme (over 90 GP practices in the pilot area of the West Midlands) and Veterans Covenant Hospital Alliance, improved e-learning packages and the inclusion of the Covenant as part of the curriculum for all GPs nationally.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member printed Earl Howe question first answered 22/11/2018 16:21:38 answering member 2000 label Biography information for Earl Howe attachment 1 file name Strategy_for_our_Veterans_FINAL.pdf title Strategy for our veterans
