Proceeding contribution from Lord Beamish (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 26 March 2009. It occurred during Debate on Defence in the UK.


Defence in the UK

I recognise the problem of PTSD, but does the hon. Gentleman not recognise that the number of people involved is small? It is higher among those deployed, as we would expect, but the important thing is to ensure that we do not confuse the broader issue of the mental health disorders that members of the armed forces face by concentrating overmuch on PTSD.
