Written question asked by Simon Opher (Labour) on Wednesday, 9 September 2026, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Friday, 11 September 2026. It was answered by Diana Johnson (Labour) on Tuesday, 15 September 2026 on behalf of the Department of Health and Social Care.


Patients: Veterans

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many patients are registered as veterans in England.

Answer

The Department does not maintain a running total of the number of patients receiving care across the full range of health services at any one time, and is not therefore in a position to say how many are registered veterans. However, NHS England has introduced several bespoke services to improve healthcare support available to veterans. This includes Op RESTORE, Op COURAGE, and Op NOVA.
