	question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the roll-out of Armed Forces Covenant's mental health provision service across the UK; and what plans they have, if any, to make changes to that provision.
	tabling member printed	Lord Browne of Belmont
	type	WrittenParliamentaryQuestion
	uin	HL3428
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/11/2021 answer text <p>The Armed Forces Covenant is a statement of the moral obligation which exists between the nation, the Government, and the Armed Forces. The Covenant is not an entity which provides any direct service. It is possible that the Noble Lord is referring to Op COURAGE, the current NHS England mental health initiative targeted at veterans. If so, I regret that the Ministry of Defence cannot comment on mental health provision across the UK, as this is not a Defence matter. Health is a devolved responsibility and, since 1948, it has been the policy of successive Governments that the NHS should be the main provider of healthcare, including mental healthcare, for veterans.</p> answering member printed Baroness Goldie question first answered 09/11/2021 16:29:54 answering member 4306 label Biography information for Baroness Goldie

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/10/2020 answer text <p>In July 2020, the Chancellor agreed to supplement the Defence Budget by nearly £200 million of additional funding for Service Family Accommodation and improvements to military estates across the UK. This additional investment will improve life for Armed Forces and over 5,000 personnel and their families will have homes modernised with new kitchens, bathrooms and furnishings including reroofing to reduce the risk of mould and damp.</p><p> </p><p>We are aware that COVID-19 has placed extra challenges on our veteran community, particularly in terms of mental health. As such, £6 million of funding has been secured from the Treasury, which has gone to 100 different Armed Forces charities across the country. Alongside this, HMG have also commissioned a new study by King's College London, into the specific impact of COVID-19 on the veteran community. This study will provide evidence about the impact of the pandemic on the veterans' community and highlight any specific needs or impacts that might need to be addressed.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Goldie question first answered 08/10/2020 13:44:34 answering member 4306 label Biography information for Baroness Goldie
