Part of 1. 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 1:53 pm on 8 November 2016.
We’d need to examine what the effect of the legislation would be, but nevertheless, the sentiments that the Member expresses are ones that I share. We want to ensure that our veterans get the best package possible, and the best deal possible, once they’ve left the armed forces. That is done through working with veterans organisations such as the Royal British Legion; it’s done through ensuring there is sufficient funding available specifically to help veterans over and above funding for the general population in areas such as health, and we’ll continue to examine what the most effective ways are of improving that service in the future.
