- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of opening a dedicated clinic for nuclear test veterans.
- Answer
-
There are currently no plans to make an assessment of the potential merits of a dedicated clinic for nuclear test veterans.
All veterans, including those affected by nuclear testing are able to access a range of National Health Services to meet their clinical needs. British nuclear test veterans who are concerned about their heath should discuss this with their general practitioner.
Over 99.6% of primary care networks in England have at least one general practice accredited under the veteran friendly scheme which raises awareness of the specific needs of veterans.
