Defence Ministers have met their counterparts on a number of occasions where the subject of NHS reservists was discussed. Officials within the MOD and the UK Health Departments have further advanced this issue under the auspices of the MOD/UK Health Departments Partnership Board. The Partnership Board is currently exploring a number of ways in which NHS staff can be encouraged to become reservists. These include targeted MOD recruitment campaigns and the education of NHS employers on the benefits to the NHS, in terms of clinical and leadership skills, of their staff being members of the volunteer reserve.The MOD and the Department of Health are also developing the concept of sponsored medical reservists. The aim is to encourage specialist civilian clinicians to mobilise for a limited period within a deployed medical facility. My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Health announced our intentions in a speech in April at a dinner hosted by the Supporting Britain's Reservists and Employers (SaBRE) organisation. The invited guests at the dinner consisted of NHS executives from NHS Trusts in the North-West. As part of his speech he also spoke of his support for NHS staff being members of the volunteer reserves and his hope that NHS employers would actively support staff who became reservists.I am appreciative of the support of the UK Health Departments and the NHS in taking this work forward.

Mr. Bercow: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a statement on the role of the Reserve Forces in the context
of the European Security and Defence Policy commitments. [158316]
Mr. Hoon: UK participation in any particular operation, and the nature of our contribution (including any potential use of the
Reserve Forces), would be matters for decision by the UK Government in the light of circumstances at the time.
Our aim in restructuring the Reserve Forces, particularly for the Territorial Army, was to make it more integrated with regular
forces and defence plans, with a shift in emphasis away from traditional home defence roles, to others such as signallers,
artillery, air defence, logisticians and particularly medical services.
The number deployed with regulars would depend on the nature and scale of the operation.

Mr. Bercow: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence which units will replace UN-designated standing reserves when those units are
otherwise deployed. [95410]
Mr. Hoon: The UK does not earmark specific forces for UN peacekeeping operations, and therefore the issue of replacing UN-designated
units on deployment does not arise. We updated our declaration of forces potentially available to the UN in June in the form of a
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). The MOU makes clear that declared forces may not be available at the time of a UN request because
of other commitments.
