Veterans: Anxiety

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if she will make an estimate of the number of veterans that were treated by the NHS for generalised anxiety disorder in (a) 2018-19, (b) 2021-22 and (c) 2022-23.

Answer

No such estimates have been made, as the information is not held in the format requested. Veterans may be treated in several National Health Service settings, including primary care, community mental health, and specialist services. Veterans are not systematically identified in all settings, and data is not systematically collated and aggregated across settings.
