Proceeding contribution from Julian Lewis (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 10 January 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Armed Forces Bill.


Armed Forces Bill

While we are on the subject of cross-departmental responsibilities, will my right hon. Friend say a word, in particular, about mental health issues, about which I know he is concerned? I believe that I am right in saying that the average time for serious post-traumatic mental health issues to emerge is about 14 years after leaving the service, which inevitably means that Departments other than his own will have to be involved in care and welfare. Does he have any observations to make on that?
