Proceeding contribution from Paul Sweeney (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 22 November 2018. It occurred during Debate on Armed Forces Covenant.
Armed Forces Covenant
The Minister is making a positive effort to outline the vision we ought to have, which I think everyone shares. Does he also recognise that four in 10 service families who have requested access to and been referred for mental health care have had difficulty accessing that treatment? That is not good enough and we need to do more. Many of our veterans experience great frustration when it comes to mental health support, and that leads to the despair that we have seen, with a spate of veteran suicides.
