Proceeding contribution from Baroness Stuart of Edgbaston (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 16 May 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Armed Forces Covenant.


Armed Forces Covenant

I particularly welcome the Secretary of State's announcement about three cycles of IVF for the injured when they come back. He will know that that is virtually the first thing that the young men who return to the Queen Elizabeth hospital from Afghanistan will ask about. He also mentioned prosthetics. When it comes to rehabilitating soldiers, we are doing things with them—and doing them better—that are not yet happening in the NHS. What work is the Secretary of State doing to ensure that what we learn from the treatment of our veterans can be translated back to the NHS and the wider population?
