<p>Veterans can and should access all mainstream services from the National Health
Service available to the whole population of England. Where injury is service related,
veterans can additionally access bespoke services which have been developed to meet
the needs of military personnel, veterans and their families.</p><p>Neither the Department
nor NHS England hold any central data in relation to Speech and Language Therapy Services.
While data may be held locally by integrated care boards, it would not capture veteran
status or any other profession. As a result, the Department has not made any assessment
on the adequacy of the availability of Speech and Language Therapy services for veterans
with a long-term physical or neurological health condition.</p>
