answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/06/2023 answer text <p>As Leader of the House I see it as essential that Noble Lords receive accurate and timely responses to all written questions tabled to His Majesty's Government. For that reason, I have spoken to all Front Bench Ministers regarding the importance of adhering to the 10 working day window for response to questions for written answer. I have also written to the Permanent Secretary of DHSC to reiterate the importance of his department responding to peers within this timeframe, as well as urging them to clear the backlog as soon as possible.</p><p>My office has contacted DHSC regarding their repeated failure to meet the 10 day target for response. After the significant disruption caused to the delivery of parliamentary support to the House of Lords by the COVID-19 pandemic, the DHSC parliamentary team has implemented a Written Parliamentary Question Recovery Plan to deal with the backlog of written questions. This recovery plan has led to significant improvements in their performance. However, your question clearly highlights that there is more work to do to ensure that all questions are answered within the 10 day target. Parliament rightly expects that more work will be done on this matter.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord True question first answered 19/06/2023 16:28:12 answering member 4200 label Biography information for Lord True

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/06/2018 answer text <p>The Ministry began collecting data on service in the Armed Forces in 2015 and all newly received offenders into custody are asked on reception if they have served in the Armed Forces.</p><p> </p><p>Latest figures published in April 2018 show approximately 3% of prisoners on their first reception (Q4 2017) responded to the question were ex-armed service personnel. This has remained relatively stable for 18 months. Due to the very small number of female ex-armed service personnel in prisons the number is not split by gender and could only be obtained at disproportionate cost. Full details of new receptions can be found in the attached table.</p><p> </p><p>Prisoners who choose to identify as former members of the Armed Services are given access to available specialist support. This includes support for issues such as post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), that may affect them following their service. Additional support can be offered by military service charities working with prisons and rehabilitation services.</p> answering member printed Lord Keen of Elie question first answered 18/06/2018 15:57:51 answering member 4538 label Biography information for Lord Keen of Elie
