I intend that every veteran should be able to apply for the HM Armed Forces Veteran's Badge at the earliest opportunity. The recent announcement on 8 November 2006 that eligibility had been extended to 1969 was the latest in a challenging programme of such extensions. Our plans are kept under review and further extensions will be announced as soon as practicable, based on the capability of the Veterans Agency to meet the forecast demand.

War pensioners, including recipients of awards under the armed forces compensation scheme, are entitled to NHS priority examination and treatment for conditions accepted as due to service. Priority is primarily a function of clinical need and is determined by the clinician in charge, subject only to emergency and other urgent cases.Regular reminders about priority treatment for war pensioners are circulated by the health services to senior NHS managers who are tasked to ensure that relevant clinical staff are aware.The Ministry of Defence and its Veterans Agency receive feedback from individual war pensioners and ex-service organisations on the delivery of priority treatment. Where necessary, the Department takes up individual cases with the relevant health authority.

The final findings of the main study in the vaccines interactions research programme were subject to the usual peer review process for scientific research; namely, consideration by reviewers for academic journals. This resulted in publication as follows:
Multiple vaccine and pyridostigmine interactions: effects on cognition, muscle function and health outcomes in marmosets. Pharmacology Biochemistry and Behavior June 2006 edition (available June 06).
Multiple vaccine and pyridostigmine interactions: effects on EEG and sleep in the common marmoset. Pharmacology Biochemistry and Behavior June 2006 edition (available July 06).

Multiple vaccine and pyridostigmine bromide interactions in the common marmoset Callithrix jacchus: Immunological and endocrinological effects. International Immunopharmacology December 2006 edition (available October 06).
An additional process of review was provided throughout the study by the involvement of the independent panel. The panel, made up of medical/scientific experts and veterans’ representatives, endorsed the study results in 2005.

As I indicated on 8 November (Official Report, cols. WA 184-5), environmental and other exposures which may have been experienced by some individuals during the 1990-91 Gulf conflict were not part of the Vaccines Interactions Research Programme. The latter was designed to address specific concerns at the time of commissioning—not least among veterans and their representatives—that the vaccines and pyridostigmine bromide which were received by the overwhelming majority of those prepared for deployment to the Gulf might be the cause of the ill health. The possible adverse health effects of the wider exposures mentioned in the question are already well understood or have been the subject of other research programmes. The wider evidence currently available makes clear that the ill health reported among Gulf veterans also affects individuals who had not experienced these exposures.

The information requested falls within the responsibilities of the Medical Research Council. The MRC's response is as follows.
The MRC did not directly consult National Gulf Veterans and Families Association about the review of research into UK Gulf veterans' illnesses conducted by the Military Health Research Advisory Group (MHRAG) in 2003 on behalf of the Ministry of Defence (MoD). However, all relevant information, including the MHRAG report on the review, has been made available on the MRC website. We understand that the MoD, which is the lead government department on Gulf veterans' illnesses issues, wrote to veterans' organisations to report on the outcome of the review.

[holding answer 7 December 2006]: I refer the hon. Member to the answer given by my predecessor on 2 June 2006, Official Report, column 37W, which includes funds from the MOD and Scottish Health Board, to the hon. Member for North Down (Lady Hermon).The funding provided by MOD to the Ex-Service Mental Welfare Society in each of the last five years is detailed in the following table. Funds are provided through the War Pensions Scheme‘s discretionary power to meet the cost of any necessary expenses in respect of medical, surgical or rehabilitative treatment of ex-members of the armed forces that arise wholly or mainly as a result of disablement due to service before 6 April 2005 where it is not provided for under other UK legislation. This includes the individual costs of war pensioners undergoing ““remedial treatment”” at homes run by Combat Stress for conditions related to their individual pensioned disablement and of related expenses such as travel costs. Combat Stress receives separate funding from the Scottish Health Board for war pensioners’ treatment at Hollybush House.

[holding answer 7 December 2006]: The Government are committed to good mental health and well-being for its personnel, both in service and after they leave. For veterans, healthcare is primarily the responsibility of the NHS. Following recommendations on mental health services for veterans in 2005 by the independent Health and Social Care Advisory Service, officials from the Ministry of Defence, the UK Health Departments and Combat Stress have been working together to develop and implement a new community-based model for mental health services for veterans. It is hoped that, beginning in the spring of 2007, the model will be piloted at sites across the UK. The pilots are likely to last two years and, if successful, will be rolled out nationally. Demobilised Reservists are already covered by the enhanced post-operational mental healthcare programme that I announced on 21 November 2006, Official Report, column 28WS.

To date, more than 6,500 applications for the new Arctic emblem have been processed and passed to the Veterans Agency for dispatch. As a result of the publicity from the many launch events that were held around the country—including, I understand, a successful one arranged by my hon. Friend in Nottingham—several hundred new applications have been received in recent weeks. Officials are working hard to process those applications, but the volume received means that it will take a few weeks to dispatch some of the emblems.
