Part of 1. 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 1:34 pm on 31 January 2017.
First Minister, can I welcome what you’ve just said there about preserving the service. You are actually leading the way in the UK, and I commend you for that. But as we now review this service that has had a lot of initial success, I think we are perhaps too reliant on self-referral—that seems to be one of the things that has come through—at the moment. And I think one key objective should be to inform veterans at the resettlement stage, as they move into civilian life, of this service. That time of life can itself be very challenging, but, of course, they may then have information that could be very, very important to them a few months or years hence.
