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>
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>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4492", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Maria Caulfield"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Lewes"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Maria Caulfield"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2023-03-02", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "groupedQuestionUIN" : [{"_value" : "153763"} , {"_value" : "153764"} , {"_value" : "153765"} ], "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2023-03-02T15:50:16.37Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2023-02-27", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Speech and Language Therapy: Veterans"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many speech and language therapy sessions veterans with brain damage receiving that therapy receive on average in (a) South Yorkshire and (b) London.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4243", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Dan Jarvis"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Barnsley Central"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Dan Jarvis"} ], "uin" : "153766"} ], "itemsPerPage" : 10, "page" : 0, "startIndex" : 1, "totalResults" : 1, "type" : ["http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#ListEndpoint", "http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#Page"]} }
