in his recent review of transition arrangements, the measures we already have in place
ensure that the vast majority of Service leavers make a successful transition to civilian

assistance from the Ministry of Defence funded Career Transition Partnership;<br>-
funding for nationally recognised qualifications through Enhanced Learning Credits
and;<br>- a range of schemes to help veterans and their families secure appropriate

by the National Health Service is already bespoke to individual needs, and reflects
the aspirations of the Armed Forces covenant.</p>
