<p>The Ministry of Defence (MOD) does not collect or hold data monitoring the fertility
of veterans. Since 1948, it has been the policy of successive Governments that the
National Health Service in England and the Devolved Administrations is responsible
for healthcare provision for veterans.</p><p>The MOD does hold War Disablement Pension
files which are created when an individual is either medically discharged or submits
a claim under the War Pension Scheme. These can contain discharge information, medical
reports, service record documentation and various administrative papers. Case papers,
for example additional medical reports and claims, are then added to the file when
received. However, the information within these individual paper files is not stored
centrally.</p>
