This support includes Veterans UK and NHS services, such as the recently launched Op Courage Mental Health pathway, as well as the charity sector and recently provided funding to the Veterans Gateway. HMG does this through the education and support the MOD provides to those leaving the Armed Forces, with enhanced support such as the Defence Transition Service for those with the most complex needs.</p> answering member constituency Aldershot answering member printed Leo Docherty question first answered 19/05/2021 16:37:22 answering member 4600 label Biography information for Leo Docherty
