My hon. Friend rightly raises an important issue on behalf of the family of Jeff Astle as well as those currently playing the sport. His question is all the more poignant given that we heard this morning the very sad news of the tragic death of the Australian cricketer, Phillip...

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many housing adaptations his Department has carried out for wounded service personnel in each year since 2010.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many housing adaptations his Department has carried out for wounded service personnel in each year since 2010.
The majority of adaptations to Service Family Accommodation (SFA) properties are carried out for the benefit of family members and dependants. It is not possible to identify separately those carried out for the benefit of injured Service personnel.
In many cases, the MOD aims to move families into SFA properties which have already been adapted where this is appropriate, rather than understanding further adaptations.
The number of adaptations to privately owned houses of personnel injured on operations is shown in the following table:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether the information required to be collected under Condition 6 of the schedule to the Welfare of Racing Greyhounds Regulations 2010 is available publicly.
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether the information required to be collected under Condition 6 of the schedule to the Welfare of Racing Greyhounds Regulations 2010 is available publicly.
Condition 6 of Part 1 of the Schedule to the Welfare of Racing Greyhounds Regulations 2010 requires the operator of a greyhound racing track to keep records for 10 years of details of any injuries sustained by greyhounds during a race, trial or sales trial. The records must be completed by the attending veterinary surgeon but there is no requirement on tracks to make this information available publicly. However, we would expect the injury records to be reviewed by the veterinary surgeon and track manager on a regular basis to determine if injury rates are changing. How these records are being used will be one of the issues looked at during the five-year review of the Regulations.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how often his Department makes contact with former service personnel who served in Iraq and Afghanistan and left the armed forces with life-changing injuries to inquire about their welfare.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how often his Department makes contact with former service personnel who served in Iraq and Afghanistan and left the armed forces with life-changing injuries to inquire about their welfare.
The Government believes that the country owes a particular debt of gratitude to those Service personnel who suffer life-changing injuries.
The Ministry of Defence therefore continues to improve the support that it offers to such personnel. In particular we now operate a Seriously Injured Leavers Protocol (SIL) which aims to ensure the identification of and ongoing support for, those Service leavers deemed likely to be medically discharged due to a severe physical or mental disablement.
This identification is based upon defined major disabling medical criteria, whilst the support is organised through the closer working of MOD in-Service and post Service welfare groups. The MOD’s Veterans Welfare Service proactively intervenes for 24 months and then maintains contact as required but at least yearly on the anniversary of discharge. Full details of the SIL protocol are available at the following website: http://www.veterans-uk.info/welfare/protocol_new.html

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how many people have suffered sporting injuries that have led to cartilage problems in each of the last five years.

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, if he will provide additional funds to Essex Fire and Rescue Service to cover the cost of payments to the Firefighters Injury Pension scheme incurred in each financial year since 2006.
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, if he will provide additional funds to Essex Fire and Rescue Service to cover the cost of payments to the Firefighters Injury Pension scheme incurred in each financial year since 2006.
The regulations governing the Firefighters’ Pension Schemes set out which payments are eligible for annual pension top-up grant claims by fire and rescue authorities and is paid by the Department. The statutory ‘Guidance for fire and rescue authorities on new financial arrangements for firefighter pensions with effect from April 2006’ issued by the Department in 2006 provides guidance for fire and rescue authorities to implement the finance arrangements, including setting out which specific payments are eligible for top-up grant expenditure and which are not eligible. The guidance sets out that injury awards are not eligible expenditure for the top up grant.
We understand that, since the changes were implemented in 2006, Essex Fire and Rescue Authority has incorrectly claimed certain injury payments as eligible expenditure through the top-up grant. We are in discussions with the fire authority on this issue.

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what the value of payouts under the Armed Forces Pensions Scheme to forces personnel and veterans on the grounds of physical injuries has been in each year since 2010.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what the value of payouts under the Armed Forces Pensions Scheme to forces personnel and veterans on the grounds of physical injuries has been in each year since 2010.
It is not possible to provide the value of payouts under the Armed Forces Pension Scheme (AFPS) to forces personnel and veterans on the grounds of physical injuries as the information requested is not held in a format that would enable us to easily answer the question and could only be provided at disproportionate cost.
The AFPS is primarily an occupational pension scheme where pension payments may be enhanced where a Service person is medically discharged with a condition caused by Service. The Pension scheme computer system does not hold details of the medical condition for which the enhanced pension is being paid.

The hon. Gentleman makes a very good point. As we commission NHS services, it is increasingly important that there is more focus on sports injury and rehabilitation, not just in relation to our elite sports people, but in relation to those people who play sport regularly at weekends, to ensure that they are properly looked after. If it would be helpful, I am happy to meet the hon. Gentleman to discuss the matter further and see how we can take it forward.

There is lots of evidence to show that chronic traumatic encephalopathy is now a major cause of depression, dementia and in many cases suicide, but the World cup showed that many sporting bodies are still not taking concussion seriously enough. Will the Minister, perhaps with colleagues in other Departments, bring in all the sporting bodies, the doctors and the teachers so that we can take concussion in sport seriously?
