Ministers give the highest priority to the care pathway for injured troops, including the role of the Defence Medical Rehabilitation Centre at Headley Court in rehabilitation.
The Government has made £6.5 million available to guarantee that all serving and former members of our armed forces injured serving in Iraq or Afghanistan will be able to have the latest technology prosthetics.
The clinical requirement for rehabilitation at Headley Court is continually monitored. The Ministry of Defence (MOD) is in a commercial relationship with Chas A Blatchford and Son Ltd for the provision of prosthetics services, which is based on sessional engagement to meet any increase or decrease of service needed. The contract works exceptionally well for Defence and is flexible enough to meet demand.
Equally, the Government is investing up to £15 million over three years to support the key recommendations contained in the report by the Minister for International Security Strategy, my hon. Friend the Member for South West Wiltshire (Dr Murrison), published on 27 October 2011, ‘Better Deal for Military Amputees’, which sought to improve prosthetics services for armed forces veterans who have lost a limb due to activities while serving their country. As such, the Department of Health recently announced the locations for nine prosthetic and rehabilitation centres across England, for amputee veterans.
The choice of centre should be based on the patient's place of residence but with the knowledge that the prosthetic support will be maintained at the same level, subject to clinical need, as that provided at the Defence Medical Rehabilitation Centre. The Government wants to raise awareness of this funding so that all veterans who have lost a limb in the service of their country can benefit from the work the NHS can do with prosthetics.
