Proceeding contribution from Lord Astor of Hever (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 16 May 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Armed Forces Covenant.


Armed Forces Covenant

My Lords, the noble Lord makes a very good point. We always work very closely with service charities. One area that was raised by the noble and gallant Lord was that of veterans and mental health, where we work very closely with the charity Combat Stress, and with the NHS, to explore and develop appropriate models of care and support. We recently launched a 24-hour mental health helpline, run by the charity Rethink on behalf of Combat Stress, which is funded through the NHS.
