Veterans: Post-traumatic Stress Disorder
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what estimate he has made of the number of ex-service people with post-traumatic stress disorder in each of the last 10 years.
- Answer
-
The Ministry of Defence does not hold any estimates of the number of veterans diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Responsibility for the delivery of clinical and mental healthcare of our veterans lies with the National Health Service in England and the Devolved Administrations.
The Department is committed to supporting members of our Armed Forces Community. I am pleased that good progress has been made in implementing the entirety of Dr Andrew Murrison's excellent 'Fighting Fit' report and in the provision of funding for national and community based projects to support veterans experiencing mental health issues.
