DMRC Headley Court

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many jobs he forecasts will be affected by the closure of Headley Court Defence Medical Rehabilitation Centre.

Answer

There are 169 military and 207 civilian Ministry of Defence posts at the Defence Medical Rehabilitation Centre at Headley Court. It is expected that the manpower requirement for the Defence and National Rehabilitation Centre (DNRC) will be approximately the same.

It is expected that many Headley Court staff will relocate to the DNRC when it opens in 2018. However, it is too soon to say exactly how many will choose to do so.
